bearing help!!!

[perry alpert]

so i purchased some new mgp blades and when i try putting bearings in them they budge sideways and wont go in str8 no matter how much i try. at first i thought it was the wheels but i tried putting bearings back in my french id wheels and they wouldnt go! do bearings somehow expand over time? any ideas. and btw bearings also r stuck in one of my old wheels and are lodged in there beyond belif....

Ok here is what you do:

Get a bolt (About the same size as the ones for folding mechs), two washers, and a nut.

Put a washer, then a Bearing, then the wheel, then the bearing spacer, then the second bearing on the bolt, then another washer.

Then put the nut on and tighten it, this will put the bearings in your wheels perfectly straight without damaging the wheel or bearings.

Then you obviously take the bolt and washers out and walla!

Works better if you use old bearings instead of washers. If you use old bearings you don't have to use much force. Heaps easier, and it has less chance of fucking you bearings
