I hope you guys dug this video!! I post weekly videos of skits, adventures, trick tips, vlogs, skateboarding, and more! Love you all!

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.

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

1:18 that guitar pick tho 🤘🏻

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

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

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

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!

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

zen and the art of skateboard maintenance

Man I really need to do this or buy brand new bearings can't remember the last time I had fresh ones only reason I haven't worried about it is because my board roll perfectly fine

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

Bare foot kick flip, fuck me

Can I use an other type of oil?

Can I just brush the bearings with teeth brush whitout waiting for 24 hrs? I don't have 24 hrs, or just for 2 or 3 hours in that oil?

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

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

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!

will this work for longboards?

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

Is there an alternate for the oil?

Dude. I’ve run my bones reds for two years and they go through rain on a daily basis during the winter... they still spin better than that... idk maybe the bearing you used is easily rusted/messed up

can i use meangreen to clean them please answer

Great video dude! Road to 10k!

Is not it simplier and precise to take out washers ??? By washing the washers a lot of dust came into bearing. This method is maybe good for ZZ bearings

is it still ok to brush the bearing even if i removed the rubberlike circle side cover protecting the circle what we call it in my langauge "bulitas" (thats a long self explanatory name right there)

What oil brand are you using?

Does it matter to use a diffrent oil

Where do i get that cleaning oil?

What kind of oil did you use

what type of oil you used ?

Bru say which oil did you use.. or I was gonna go for olive one

Notice how it went from light to dark outside when he snapped his fingers lol

What oil do you use?

My bearing is stuck inside the wheel and the hole face sideways how to get it out

What oil we must use?

love this for my skate board

can i use food oil?

Oil?

Thought you were supposed to open up the bearing cases to get to the ball bearings ?

I'm using mass airflow cleaner for a car or truck. It's sensorkleen .helps Remove grease and small stones in bearings. Note you will need a lube like 3in1 or speed cream

Can I use olive oil??

what's the volume bearings still aren't clean because most of the dirt is on the inside the bearing and you supposed to put lubricant on them if you them to spin better better

I tried shaking the jar n now theres oils everywhere

I took a look at ur channel. looks awesome I subscribed 👌

dose alchole work

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

Is this cooking oil or sumtin?

what kind of oil

Can i use soap

which oil

will wd-40 work?

What type of oil would work best if I don’t have bearing oil?

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.

Thanks man!

I used a different way I first removed the shields then I soake in cleaning oil and brush with a tooth brush

Fantastic video, thank you!

we-40work?

It's a good idea to remove the dust shields before cleaning.

I cleaned my bearings with dish soap and re greased the balls inside with lock oil

Thank you so much bro ❤

dude il save it for when I need it THX

This really helps thanks dude.. BUT! Sorry if im slow but im a beginner skater and it would have been nice to show us how to take the bearings out of the wheels hah! But either than that great video man thanks for teaching me

he fell of his skate board xD

Instead of soaking it in tool oil, does vinegar work the same

Will WD40 work as well or do I need that tool oil

what kind of lube did you use?

why did you not pop the seals off the bearings? youre not doing much rubbing the outside of the seal

how do you take the bearings off?

Does WD40 work

Waste of time. just pop the seals of let the bearing sit in some engine degreasant/ paint thinner for 10 minutes then give it a good blast down with carb cleaner. pack with lithium grease sorted.

try to do a video with bearings that are so rusty that you cant move them at all even with vise-grips. i have some like that

Can you use acetone as the cleaning solution??

i thought he was gonna sing the Just A Friend- Biz Markie in the beginning

What other types if oil can I use

I have a really good suggestion to increase the spin time. Im not lying it works multiple times. Put whiting toothpaste in the middle of the barring and just spin it and continully add toothpaste. Spin for 2 minutes and then rinse really good with hot water. Wear gloves. Then dry it with a hair dryer, DONT USE ANY TOWELS OR PAPER. Then use air thats compressed(optional)then there you go. Mine went from 24 seconds to 1:39. Its a really good method. Reply if it helped. Also subscribe if it helped it means alot to me.

Mmm... Bearings are mechanical stuff, refer to mechanics' video. Those bearing seals can be opened, cleaned and regreased.

I need to clean my abec-11 bearing for my inline skates

Can I replace the oil with dish soap?

my bearings spin fast, but then they catch. This was after cleaning them with alcohol. they spun better before i cleaned them. I'm here for making a fidget spinner. Was told if i use no oil they will spin longer. i used a toothbrush and i think what's happening is debris from the toothbrush got caught inside of it

zzzzz you remove the bearing shield or seal then clean with carb cleaner then repack the bearings with tool oil greese what ever you prefer then re seat the seal..

What oil is that

Why didn;t you remove plastic cover ring (red one) from these bearings and add new grease ???? I dont fucking understand ???

My bearings always explode before i can clean them

the snap was off😂

hella views u go sam

That guitar pick is gonna fall into the void

Your Dad is Mike Damone from Fast times at Ridgemont High.

Om am hear fer figget spiners This is what half of the fucking comments look like Jesus Christ

How about fidget spinners bearing?

Do it till I don't want to do it that would be hard for me I could sit still so long a rock would be impressed

I want cleaning for only bearing

Thank you :) would recommend ABEC 9 or 11 bearings to make permanent improvements in life :D but wow :) steeping for 24 hours after brush now :D

Never use sandpaper 😂

you know you can just use wd 40 is will oil it and remove the rust

Does this work on scooter
