To guarantee ideal execution for your bearings, it’s an excellent plan to clean and lubricate the bearings all the time. This will protect the sturdiness and lifetime of your bearings and furnish you with ideal speed from your bearings.
Notice: Always maintain a strategic distance from water and sand – A bearings life expectancy will be abbreviated radically when utilized/put away in a wet and grimy condition.
Step by step instructions to clean and lubricate bearings on your skates, skateboard and scooter
Stage 1
Required devices: Cleansing specialist like an oil dissolving liquid, similar to Fluid wash, a waterproof holder, a drawing pin or stanley blade, a little brush and new oil/oil.
Expel the bearings from the wheel. Watch the Youtube video at the top on the most proficient method to expel the bearings from a wheel. The demo is performed on a skate, however the procedure is the equivalent for skateboards and scooters.
Get the wheels off and unmount the bearings.
Stage 2
Utilize the brush to clean all outside zones of the bearings, so the bearings are totally liberated from soil.
There are two sorts of bearings that can be kept up; open and shut. Open bearings are anything but difficult to keep up, though shut bearings can be kept up via cautiously expelling the shield.
Clean the outside zones of the bearings.
Stage 3
In the event that your bearings are fixed you can expel the seal with a drawing pin.
On some shut bearings that have metal shields, there is a little C-cut holding them set up. This C-cut must be evacuated with the drawing pin before the shield can be expelled.
Make sure to likewise clean the seals and C-cuts whenever provided.
Seals (without C-cut) is expelled from the bearing with a drawing pin or Stanley blade.
Stage 4
Spot the bearings in a shut holder that holds the purifying specialist and afterward shake the compartment for a couple of moments. This will break down any earth that may have been developing.
In the first place, clean the bearings with a little brush and afterward utilize purifying specialist a short time later.
Stage 5
Expel the bearings from the compartment and evacuate the remainder of the purifying specialist by turning the bearings. Another great method to do this is by utilizing an air blower to victory the liquid. Spot the cleaned bearings on a bit of clean material or kitchen roll.
The bearings have recently been expelled from the holder holding a purging specialist.
Stage 6
Test if the cleaning procedure was effective. Hold the bearing on the inward ring and give the bearing a light turn. On the off chance that the bearing doesn’t turn unreservedly or potentially you hear a crunchy sound is it in light of the fact that the bearing isn’t cleaned altogether enough. If so, you should rehash the cleaning procedure with a segment of crisp purifying operator. For filthy bearings it tends to be important to rehash this procedure 2-3 times.
Test if the bearing is cleaned altogether, by turning it as appeared.
Stage 7
Spot the bearings back on the perfect fabric or kitchen tissue. The bearings are presently prepared for oil or oil. Utilize 1-2 drops of oil (not more, as it will draw in earth) or 3mm oil uniformly disseminated around in the bearing.
Ensure that the oil/oil is appropriated well by turning the bearings (should be possible successfully by mounting the bearing on a boring machine).
1-2 drops of oil are painstakingly trickled into the bearing.
Stage 8
At last, place the shields back on the bearings and set the bearings back in the wheels of the skate, skateboard or trick scooter.
Seals are mounted on the cleaned and lubricated bearings, and the bearings are mounted back on the wheels.
In the wake of cleaning and lubrication
In the wake of cleaning and lubrication of the bearings, you may need to run a couple of miles before the oil/oil is entirely conveyed in the bearings, and in this way before the bearings perform ideally.
