How do i egt bearings out of a sealed wheel? (BMX)?

My bmx back wheel needs new bearings.. It is chrome and it seems to be a sealed wheel. The person i bought it off spent 150 Pounds on the wheel so i am not going to change wheels. Anyone know how ?How do i egt bearings out of a sealed wheel? (BMX)?
any hub that expensive should be able to be overhauled...



I've never seen one that doesn't hold the bearings in with cones. To open it up you'd need cone wrenches though.



I'd need a visual to tell you more



In this case I would take it to a bike shop, at least that way if anything goes wrong, it shifts the liability from you to them...How do i egt bearings out of a sealed wheel? (BMX)?
remove all axle hardware on one side of the hub and tap the axle through to the other side, bearings will move with the axle. Then just tap the remaining bearings out of the hub with a screwdriver or something similar.
