Tip: don't brush your teeth with the toothbrush you used to clean your bearings.

I snapped my finger and the bearings doesn't come out by itself 😔😞

working on skateboards like this when I was a kid is what ultimately got me into working on cars... I had an old fucked up set of 8yo bones Swiss from a skateboard I found... took them apart, and they lasted me another 5 years until I quit skating...changing a bearing on a van in a week... cars are just giant skateboards lol

Take the shield off the bearing that points to the inside of the wheel with a small flat blade screwdriver. Clean with a solvent and tooth brush. Clean out the inside of the wheel. Blow dry the bearing with compressed air or a rag. Make sure the bearing is dry and apply lubricant. The secret is to keep your bearing lubricated and they last for years. Water and dirt destroy bearings, so if you abuse them, clean and lubricate them afterwards.

A lot off times, if it has that red plastic (or any non metallic) cover over the outside you can open the set up. Although they are called sealed or permanent bearings you can carefully take a pick and remove the that cover. Then you can pull all the balls out and do a complete clean up on them, re-grease or oil them and snap the cover back on. Also if you have them disassembled you can take them outdoors in a well ventilated area out of reach others and pets and use bleach, vinegar, or peroxide, to chemically remove the rust but NEVER EVER MIX even the simplest household chemicals.

wd-40 to remove rust, kerosene to cleanup, you don't need to wait all night, after just use your favourite lubricant

[andydowiarz]

When your bearings get wet, spray WD-40 in them and spin the wheels. That will displace the water and keep them from rusting in the first place.

A good tip is instead of soaking it in oil soak it in a cleaning solution something like isopropyl alcohol or acetone for a couple hours around 6 is enough for me then tap em off on paper towel and let em air dry a bit then lube em take the shields off before putting it in the alcohol and if u REALLY wanna make em brand new take the balls out the bearing and clean each individual one and lube

I have some super old bearings in roller skates (my mother bought them in 1978), and although they had been very well taken care of, the bearings had stiffened, and I knew they needed a cleaning, but they don't have a shield to pop off, so this was a super helpful tutorial to get some life back into them and save me some money for a bit longer. Thank you!

1:01 what the hell, did it take you 4 hours to take off the bearings? (Window)

Following either a skateboarding or inline skating session in stormy weather, I treat them bearing like a doctor treating ICU patients.
Immediately, to prevent rust build-up, I run the bearings with grit, mud or dirty water in the shields under a faucet, brush them, towel them dry, borrow my cousin's hairdryer, set the blowing to warm-high and leave it pointing at the bearings for 3 hrs while turning them on sides like fried eggs. GENIUS!

i like to remove the inner plastic that separates the balls with a very tiny flat head screwdriver (not talking about the shield), then i can put dish soap and water to clean it very well and remove everything, also clean the little plastic itself, then of course you gotta dry it very well (a towel for the plastic and very fast rotation with your hand + blow air on it with all your strenght for the bearing) then you put it back together, add 4 or 5 drops of machine oil (the oil will eliminates the rest of the humidity) and it's as good as new, i just restored my brother's old red bones, some of them were sticking bad, now they're as good as new, I put it in my penny cruiser that had generic abec 5s

i used to just let it sit inside kerosene overnight and oil it next day (the only way to clean fully sealed bearings), works fine but it's not so easy to get and it's bad for the enviroment if you just let dirty kerosene into the sink

1:35 “then ur gonna go grab ur bearing and ur just gonna go to town”😂😂

[HeadNtheClouds]

I always take them completely apart & I use a nail manicure brush on the cages with simple green & under water, , rinse & dry. If it’s real bad, you can boil metal parts in a pan make sure their dry, then put them back together, make sure the outside of bearings are oil free or it will attract dirt

[AndreaSaurusRexx]

Thanks man, accidentally went through a huge puddle of mud. The next day, I thought my bearings wear beyond rusted lol

[vanessah]

can you use the bearings from your fidget spinner on your skateboard/longboards?

[pirate]

If you don't want to wait a year and have 10x better results then take off the bearing shield's soak them in acetone/gasoline/paint thinner and it's actually crazy how fast they get everything out of your bearing when done lube up with oil and you re ready to go

[thecompleteperfectionistma]

which oil did u used to clean the bearings???
