I had absolutely no trouble at all finding a video on how to remove bicycle hub bearings.

So what do you think is so different procedure wise about how sealed bearing is replaced in a mag rim vs a spoke rim????

Unless you have wheels like what's in the picture below all bicycle wheels have hubs.

The only difference between a mag wheel with sealed bearings and a regular wheel with sealed bearings is the mag wheel's spokes is made out of plastic and the regular wheel's spokes is made out of metal. Let's not over complicate things. I've shown you the procedure and the tools you need. If it's still beyond your abilities, then take the mag wheels to a reputable bicycle shop and have them replace the bearings. Just so you'll know, what you pay the bicycle shop in labor cost; you could've purchased the tools to do it with.
 
its not beyond my ability's its just i don't like wasting time lol a video or any photos of mag hub disassembly would be nice thoooo :) ....

There is a diagram of what most sealed bearing bicycle hubs looks like at 4m30s of the video.

If the axle won't come out that means the part inside of the hub is larger than the rest of the axle. Then you can put a nut on the end of the axle and hammer out the bearings.

Here's a thread I once did when I did a redesign of a Staton Inc hub axle. Later other wheel manufacturers started building similar hubs. There's a picture you can see the Ridge to stop the bearing from going only so deep. I even show the bearings right before I pressed them in.

Thread 'Broken Rear Axle'

A few months ago the rear axle broke in my Staton Inc hub. It broke where the snap ring groove is. So I had David redesign me a new axle. The new axle no longer has snap ring grooves. Instead it now uses sleeves to hold the sealed bearings in place...
