No, he can't.

Wheel bearings tend to 'stretch' over time. If you hold the center of the bearing with one hand and twist the outside with the other, you can check how much it's stretched. If it moves, hey presto, theres where the noise might be coming from.

i always wondered why bearings got loose like that...

Sarcasm or not, allow me to go further indepth.

By stretching I mean the inside tracks the bearings roll in get wider due to all the impacts and sideways force of scooting.

if its your brake put qaurters in the spring and supper glue them there.
or to save some money use nickels it works the same !lol

back on topic, you dont need to superglue them. they just stay if you center the nickel under the spring.

easiest way to do it (if it IS your brake, anyway) is by taking your back wheel off, using a flat-head screwdriver to lift the brake spring that is under the brake, put the nickel under, and adjust it to being center under the brake spring. for the brake spring thingy IN the deck, put the nickel inside of the deck, lift the spring with the flat-head, tilt the deck down and it will slide right under. adjust it, and there ya go. my scooter had that problem, did this, my scooter is so close to being dialed. all i need is to fix my slightly screwed up back wheel. then it will be dialed. even more dialed when i get my frid or lucky forks !lol

good luck with dialing your scooter!
