How to Clean Your Skateboard Bearings and Wheels
Skateboardpage :: Tips for You Today How to Clean Skateboard Bearings and Wheels? If you notice that your wheels are not gliding the way they should be or creating a distinct squeaking sound, then it is time to do some maintenance cleaning. 1. Using a +" socket wrench or a skate tool, remove the wheels from the trucks. 2. Then, remove the bearings from the wheels. To do this, barely hook the wheel back to the axle (the bearing should be hooked to the tip of the axle) and slowly pry the wheel, pooping the bearing out. This requires extreme care as you might damage the bearing in the process. (But if you are planning to throw the old bearings away and replace them with new ones, you can pry as hard as you want but make sure that you do not damage the wheels.)
