bjbj Inserting and removing bearings from a skateboard wheel is actually pretty easy.
There are some skate tools that conveniently have a bearing press and remover built onto
them, but sometimes there s just not enough leverage to push the bearing in and to take
it out. What I think the best tool for both jobs is just the axle on your truck. Before
we start, remove the axle nut and just one of those small washers. Now, place a bearing
on the axle, shield or seal-side out, push down really *** the wheel until the bearing
is snug in place. If you have a metal shield or rubber shield on both sides, then it doesn
t matter what side is facing out. To remove a bearing, place the wheel back on the axle
just enough that is the depth or width of the bearing and push down really *** one
side. Now, just put back on one of those small washers, screw on the axle nut by hand and
just take your skate tool and start tightening it. What you don t want to do is tighten the
nut all the way down to the bearing; you will crush the shield or seal and dramatically
decrease the bearings performance or destroy it. So, check the wheel along the way making
sure you don t run that risk and so it has enough room to move on that axle. New bearings
also spin slowly at first they just need time to break in. See, I told you! Inserting and
removing bearings is easy. Now, I can go skate. [Content_Types].xml _rels/.rels theme/theme/themeManager.xml
