Somebody asked for a help thread of how to remove bearings, so i got this idea.


HOW TO INSERT/REMOVE BEARINGS

Inserting Bearings w/ tool:

1) Put the bearing on your tool with the back facing outward.

2) Put your wheel on the ground, and push downward until you here a click noise. That means you have it in ( i reccomend that you push the bearing down on the truck when your done, just to make sure its fully in ). take the wheel off and put it back on. If it goes on fine and spins fine, that means you have it in.


Removing Bearings w/ tool:

1) Put your wheel on your truck axle. Don't let axle go through the top bearing, or else it wont come out.

2) Push your tool handle downward until the bearing pops out.

I was very confused at first, and someone made a help thread, so i thought i should make this to prevent more help threads.

Oh lol, I figured It out when I first got my skateboard and he did the bearings for me. The taking out part I just kinda knew how to do that. But once again nice guide.

I do it without a tool by inserting pushing it in via hand and removing the bearing by sticking the bearing in not to far on the truck and pry it out.

Push them in by hand.
Take them out by prying them out with a screwdriver. Thats what i did with my bones, and it didnt affect them in any way. Hope this helped :icon_drib

Don't take this the wrong way but it takes someone with half a brain to pop a bearing out...... I still liked it though.
