STUPID BEARINGS!!
Yesterday I went for a scoot with my mate Nick and it was raining for a while then I just got home and put my scooter down and left it.
Now, my wheel bearings are completely rusted.
I don't know how to get them out to check but my 100mm Yak dosent even spin when I took it off my fork.
My back stock is fine because i just replaced it with my other stock.
But can someone tell me how to get my 100mm Yak bearings to roll again??
PLEASE!!

Same thread was posted like a week ago. Clean and relube them and thats the best they're gonna get.

And if all else fells by new bearings.

The best thing you can do is put an allen key through on to the inside ring, hit it with a hammer and hope it doesn't slip and clip the bearing....

That Kinda Happened To Me Exept It Was Sand And The New Bearings Just Dont Work Well They Do But Horible Sound

 

[tarrymonz]

yeah its happened to me
pretty easy to fix
EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN THIS SHIT
get your bearings out with the allen key
or get skateboard trucks
put your wheel through the threaded part of the trucks
bend the wheel and they pop out
NOW TO FIX YOUR BEARINGS
soak them in metho, mineral turpentine or rubbing alcohol for an hour or so
this will dissolve all the shit inside your bearings
shake the bearings every now and then
so the shit affecting you bearings doesnt settle and is being cleaned
this also dissolves the lube in your bearings
take them out after the hour and dry with a tea towel.
you have to relube them with motor grease or whatever you lube with
NOT WD40!!
grease the inside of your wheel so the bearings dont get trapped again
your set
watch out for the rain hahah

clean em with wd 40 or something and then flood em with lubricant.

 

[iscootscoot]

oh but do not use the wd40 ass the lubricant like tarrymonz said. but not too much wd40 to cleen. if u put heaps of wd40 on to clean the bearing will be stuffed. thats what i doo cuz mine rusted too.

 

[skets]

dont use wd40 it will ruin the wheels even more

 

[Anthony_Q]

id rather use vegetable oil than wd40.

get some speed cream. works amazing.

or get skateboard trucks

this only works for skateboard wheels were the bearing seat is urethane (sp?)
i dont think any ones going to get very far bending bearings out of metal cores .....
