Oh thank God someone said something about that. I was thinking since it cleans the bearings, would it clean my teeth? But I guess it wouldnt. Thank you kind sir
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.
Even if the cap is metal can I take it apart? Because I’m struggling to take the shield out of my bearings but nothing will fit i used a razor but it chipped the corner of it and a baby pin won’t work
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
@@chanelw1237 It is not a lubricant and clogs up bearings, making them seriously prone to break when using for skateboarding. Honestly, any bearing with too much dirt in it can stop turning in an instant, making you shoot off the board when you least expect it. Think pebbles...
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!
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
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
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!
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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)
of course! you'll actually get a better clean if you take the shields off! just be careful that the balls on the inside don't fall because they are close to impossible to put back in.
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
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..
puts the bearing in cooking oil makes it slower just take the cover of the side of the bearing and put alcohol in it till the grease is all in and chain grease to keep it from rusting more
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 thinks you should take of the red part of the bearing and then put the oil in the bearing and all the other stuff and put the red part back in the bearing
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
ReadyP1ayerTwo Everything you were told was wrong lol, don’t clean them with alcohol use citrus cleaner (like orange degreaser) and put sewing machine oil or clipper oil on the inside after. You’ll be good to go. But buy a skateboard first, of course

No. A bushing is that squishy part on the trucks (the metal T-bar where the wheels are attached).

This is exactly how I was shown how to clean bearings by Master Wu.
I need to do this for my expensive motorcycle bearing. There's only one after all. But I wanna save that 12 bucks!
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.
1:01 what the hell, did it take you 4 hours to take off the bearings? (Window)
Ram Ramos why is it dangerous

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

Ikr, this man is just like:
"Just some oil"
👁👄👁
Thought you were supposed to open up the bearing cases to get to the ball bearings ?
some bearings are different and can’t be oppened
Will WD40 work as well or do I need that tool oil
Don't use wd40
I went to a skate shop and they recommended for me to NOT use WD40
Benjamin Parkin thanks bro
sebastian braid well actually Iv used wd40 In the past and it’s worked well for me but I didn’t use it since only bc there’s better products
Benjamin Parkin can I use lubricant oil ?
Thanks man, accidentally went through a huge puddle of mud. The next day, I thought my bearings wear beyond rusted lol
Notice how it went from light to dark outside when he snapped his fingers lol

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

What type of oil would work best if I don’t have bearing oil?
Sewing machine oil. Also I think electric clipper lubricant but you might want to double-check on that
@@misslayer999 ive also heard air tool oil works well
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?
Instead of soaking it in tool oil, does vinegar work the same
The oil is to spin to clean you could use alcohol windex etc but oil to make it spin after
Thx
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..

but wow :) steeping for 24 hours after brush now :D
puts the bearing in cooking oil makes it slower just take the cover of the side of the bearing and put alcohol in it till the grease is all in and chain grease to keep it from rusting more

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 give me the link?
why did you not pop the seals off the bearings? youre not doing much rubbing the outside of the seal
Can I use olive oil??

Squinky .3. Alcohol doesnt cause rust lmao
Is this cooking oil or sumtin?
how do you take the bearings off?
Jack Wolf you have to just snap them off it's pretty hard when you first start but you got it!
Does it matter to use a diffrent oil
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

What oil we must use?
What oil do you use?
can i use food oil?
Why didn;t you remove plastic cover ring (red one) from these bearings and add new grease ???? I dont fucking understand ???

Can I replace the oil with dish soap?
no, you can clean em with orange citrus cleaner, but then still need to oil/lube them.
i thinks you should take of the red part of the bearing and then put the oil in the bearing and all the other stuff and put the red part back in the bearing
Can you use acetone as the cleaning solution??
yes, but then dry them with hair dryer or something, and then oil/lube them.
I took a look at ur channel. looks awesome I subscribed 👌
I use vinegar at bearing it works way better
Could you use wd-40

Next time "clean" them with ATF . Cheaper then tool oil and its actually got cleaning detergents in it
My bearings always explode before i can clean them
I got a thing like wd40 but for boats so it was really strong and just left my bearings overnight.It was not as efficient as this way though.
K.O.S. Crew That way will work too! This oil is just really good for this stuff haha
