Okay I am looking at it wrong then. What are the circle on the outside wheels, that to me look like bearings?

They are bearings inside a bearing block for support.

yea I would lose them. All you need for a Dead Axle is a threaded rod with two bolts to hold it in place. 1/4-20 bolts will work fine. That is what we use, and dont have a problem with them

Heres and example of what I have designed. As you can see you don't need bearings for those wheels
