grab a few super long M4 screws (either cap head or countersunk, it has to be flat), i usually use 50+mm ones, screw cap facing the ground, align those screw to the pins, grab towel or whatever for more grip, wrap around the wheel and force ur whole body weight on just the wheel, then pray it will come out 
that’s how i regularly remove 3ds pulley from my TB110 / blue cag

That didn’t work for the China 'thane Boa cores when Rafael tried it. It just enlarges the pins and makes them stuck even more, like rivets.
It’s the knockoff fake china kegel core that is the problem, I think.
Think of this core as “kegel clones” in much the same way that “abec clone” cores are not 100% compatible.

sounds about right, that’s also one of the reason i can’t use the onsra 115mm wheels on anything
I think it’s the core at fault. The pins on my kegel pulleys run on the smaller side compared to other pulleys on the market. The fit shouldn’t require you stepping on the pulley to get it in. The genuine labeda wheels I tested all needed hand force only.

Yeah, I knew I fucked up as soon as I felt how much resistance there was. But then I promptly went for a long skate and forgot about the entire situation until many weeks later when I wanted to change things up.
Now that I am being more careful test fitting my pulleys before going full ham, I discovered that my TB100s that I always thought were impossibly tight actually have flipped cores. They fit perfectly on the wrong side. BC those wheels are center set I am planning to run them with the labels facing in.

Looking forward to trying out the 40t I ordered a while back.

Both pulleys have fallen out of their pins. Tried using two part epoxy but no difference.
@Boardnamics What is the best setup (bearings, spacers, etc) to have the most reliability when using in conjunction with your 10-8 surfrodz axles?

These adapters are quite old; at least 2 years old. There have been a few tiny changes since then that makes the pins not work they way out.
There are 4 generations of surfrodz axles. Hard to say without knowing which ones. I can say that around 5-6mm between the inner wheel bearing and adapter bearing is ideal.

@Boardnamics Thanks for the quick reply! This is the setup I have used so far. In order from left to right: XTLA mounts, 10mm washer, 10mm spacer, 10mm bearing seated in pulley, 8mm wheel bearings/spacer.
The 10mm bearing is rested against the 10mm spacer to ensure clamping pressure is exerted against the pulley.
Is there a better way I can set this up?
