         2 . The fidget spinner of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 the first spinner wheel releasably connected to the axle with a first releasable connection.   
     
     
         3 . The fidget spinner of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 the first releasable connection comprising an axle, a tapped hole comprising female threads in an end of the axle for receiving an axle screw, and an axle screw releasably threaded into the tapped hole.   
     
     
         4 . The fidget spinner of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 the second spinner wheel releasably connected to the axle with a second releasable connection.   
     
     
         5 . The fidget spinner of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 the second releasable connection comprising the axle, the tapped hole, a spacer disposed between the first and second spinner wheels, and the axle screw releasably threaded into the tapped hole.   
     
     
         6 . The fidget spinner of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 the first spinner wheel comprising a bearing releasably connected to the axle, said bearing having an outer race; and   a spinner wheel casing releasably attached to the outer race.   
     
     
         7 . A fidget spinner wheel, comprising:
 a bearing aligned on an axis and having an outer race; and   a spinner wheel casing attached to the outer race.   
     
     
         8 . A fidget spinner wheel of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 the spinner wheel casing releasably attached to the outer race.   
     
     
         9 . The fidget spinner wheel of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 the wheel casing comprising an inward facing surface, a first protrusion protruding inward from the surface, and a second protrusion protruding inward from the surface, said second protrusion spaced an axial distance from the first protrusion; and   the outer race of the bearing disposed between said first protrusion and second protrusion; and   said first protrusion abutting against a rim of the outer race.   
     
     
         10 . A fidget spinner wheel of  claim 9 , wherein the first protrusion comprises a lip. 
     
     
         11 . A fidget spinner wheel of  claim 9 , wherein the first protrusion comprises a tab. 
     
     
         12 . A fidget spinner wheel of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a central hub of the casing;   said tab comprising finite circumferential dimension; and   said tab extending longitudinally from the central hub.   
     
     
         13 . A fidget spinner wheel casing, comprising:
 an inward facing surface, a first protrusion protruding inward from the surface, and a second protrusion protruding inward from the surface;   said second protrusion spaced an axial distance from the first protrusion; and   said first protrusion and second protrusion defining a space between them for releasably receiving a bearing.   
     
     
         14 . The fidget spinner wheel casing of  claim 13 , wherein the first protrusion comprises a lip. 
     
     
         15 . The fidget spinner wheel casing of  claim 13 , wherein the first protrusion comprises a tab. 
     
     
         16 . A fidget spinner wheel casing of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 a central hub;   said tab comprising finite circumferential dimension; and   said tab extending longitudinally from the central hub.   
     
     
         17 . A fidget spinner kit, comprising:
 an axle;   a first bearing releasably attachable to the axle;   a first wheel casing attached to the first bearing;   a second bearing releasably attachable to the axle; and   a second wheel casing attached to the second bearing.   
     
     
         18 . The fidget spinner kit of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 a tool for releasably attaching the bearings to the axle and detaching the bearings from the axle.   
     
     
         19 . A fidget spinner kit, comprising:
 a first bearing;   a first wheel casing releasably attachable to the first bearing; and   a second wheel casing releasably attachable to the first bearing.
