Removing a brake from a pair of rollerblades is quite simple. When you purchased the skates, there should have been a little packet inside the box that contained the owners' manual along with a hex key (allen wrench) (2 may have been included), and an extra axle. To remove the break, use the hex key(s) to loosen and remove the axle holding the wheel and brake together on the frame. Once completely loose, remove the brake while keeping the wheel in its place on the frame. If the wheel comes out of the frame while removing the brake, that's okay, but typically the wheel can remain in its spot on the frame.
Take the extra axle provided in the packet from the box and use it to fasten the wheel where the brake used to be back to the frame. The extra axle is shorter in length that the axle used to hold the wheel and the brake. If you use the original (longer) axle, it will stick out from the frame and when you turn it will hit the skating surface.
Once you've completed all of these steps, you're all ready to skate with your skates without the brake.
To stop effectively on rollerblades, beginners can use the heel brake by lifting their toes and pressing the brake down. This action will slow down and eventually stop the rollerblades. Practice this technique in a safe and open area to improve your stopping skills.
To brake effectively on rollerblades, lean slightly forward and bend your knees. Lift one foot slightly and drag the heel of that foot on the ground behind you. Apply gentle pressure to slow down gradually. Practice and adjust your technique to find the most effective way to brake for you.

Based on the brand mentioned (Nike/Bauer) I'm going to venture a guess that these are roller hockey skates. In which case, the brake would be absent as all roller hockey skates are manufactured without a brake. The link below gives some information on skate brakes including the types found on recreational style rollerblades, as well as information on skates with no brake.
To learn how to break effectively on rollerblades, practice using the heel brake by shifting your weight slightly forward and pressing down on the brake with your back foot. Start at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable with the braking technique. Remember to always wear protective gear and practice in a safe, open area.
