I have a feeling that you're not using any spacers on your axles. Try cutting some PVC pipe to length to slide over your axles to keep the wheels in the same place, it'll also keep the bearings from sliding out because theres PVC pipe in the way....

Should be like this

| is sprocket
- is axle
= is spacer
|| is wheel
