Great video. I feel it's worth mentioning to have a work area clear of any metal debris, filings etc as they can stick to magnets.. short things out. That and never put your hand on the rail, ( wren does this several times ) when you press you will potentially crush a finger, no joke a guy in shop lost a finger on a similar press.. sheared almost right off.. Teflon tape for threads, lasts longer than locktite, and disassembles easy too.. works for any bolt subject to vibration

Just a thought to the float life, do you want a 3d print to fill the inner channel of magnets so that the bearing can come out without contacting the wall of magnets? alternatively you can also cut heat and bend some of the floatplate material to make a protective ring/disk. Just a thought.

Freeze the new bearings before installing, they will slide in much easier.
@Murgoh 2 жыл бұрын
Yup, some half an hour in a freezer will shrink them. Also the housing can be carefully warmed up with a heat gun or even a hair dryer (not really hot, just warm, as magnets and the adhesive they are held in with don't like heat). Really makes a difference, less wear on the bores and smaller chance of trouble.

My buddy runs the float life Canada and I was talking to him about different bearing changes, including bearing charges on EUCs. He was telling me that on some EUCs he puts the motor/wheel, or whatever it is in the freezer. So it shrinks and makes it easier to come out. Is that some you can do on a onewheel to make it easier to take out and potentially seat it when putting it back in? I didn't think to ask him that when I was visiting his shop haha
