How to change skateboard bearings and wheels EASILY

Straight to the point tutorial on how to change your skateboard bearings, easily and correctly. Beginners should also learn about how to maintain your board, and we'll start with your bearings. If you feel like your wheels don't turn, or you feel like you have to push too much, it's time for new bearings.

Speed washers are recommended, bearing spacers are optional. I touched on their benefits in the video; personally, I always use speed washers and bearing spacers.

Thumbs up for bearing spacers. You can tight the axle nut all the way when you use those.

Just watched this video to help my 12 year old skater swap his bearings out. Thanks bro!

When you tightened down the nut with a spacer in the wheel. It also makes the bearing align straight in the wheel. Plus your powerslides become more consistent and smooth. Always use your spacers and speedrings. Or just buy built in bearings like Fireballs built in bearings.

Thanks for this tip! I couldn't get the bearings out since they were so rusty and the axle thing works!

Also, clean the speed washers, axle, and axle nut with a dry towel.

Some say you should tight the axle nut flush for no speed wobbles and “efficiency”.

But with a little wiggle room, you get more speed.

Which way is the correct way and why?

Bro (sorry for my english, im brazilian) you really help me to much thank you because is so nice/cool see your videos (in brazil that two words "nice/cool has the same meaning)

I'd add you want to loosen the nut till there's the ever so slightest amount of play when you push it in and out at that point they'll roll the best and the small amount of play won't effect how they skate (they difference between no play and th amount of plat you want is gonna be like 1/16th of a turn)

You could also use one bearing on the axel first to even out the prepressure better, when installing a bearing in the wheel.

[JackdBrett]

should there be a slight wobble even if you dont use spacers?

[danielfleck]

What is the washer on the wheel called? Great video by the way! Very helpful

[ghxulish]

Do bearing spacers have a huge impact or nah?
