How Do You Remove Bearings From Skate Wheels?
Skate bearings are used on inline skates, skateboards, scooters and traditional quad roller skates. Removing and cleaning roller bearings is essential to the good performance of your wheels. Cleaning skate bearings requires just a couple of tools and some patience. You can buy bearing pullers that not only pull the bearings out of the wheels but also press the clean bearings back into the wheel. Gather your equipment and cleaning solution, which can be an organically friendly grease remover or a traditional grease solvent. Organize your workstation–use a table or a bench. It will take a few minutes per wheel to remove and clean the bearings. Cover your workstation with newspapers or similar material for easy cleanup. Take each wheel off its axle by removing the nut that holds the wheel in place. Remove all the wheels at the same time to help you avoid getting the cleaning solution on the leather of the boots. Take all the bearings out of the wheels before you begin the cleaning proces
