PROTO METALCORE BEARING PROBLEM???

[Chris Harris]

put the spacer so that you cant put a back axel threw it, and hit the axel with a hammer... it takes like 2 minutes

 

[maxlikesscooters]

its broke already so that doesnt matter. just hammer the shit out

 

[Chandler Olsen]

yikes, wouldn't that kill the shield or the outer race? Maybe something a little more flat..

like your moms boobs?


sorry i just saw that.

 

[Cookie]

yeah i just have the spacer positioned so the axle stops when you try to push it through then tap the axle with a mallet

 

[zprestoe]

WD40 solves everything

 

[codyferner]

i used

front axle which goes through the wheel spacer and 1 bearing

wheel spacer that goes on the outside of the bearing

hammer on the front axle which pushed the bearing
in one side

then i did it to the other side with the wheel spacer in the wheel

okay well i wanna replace the broken one
how do i get it out?
i dont wanna use wd40

It probably broke from going in crooked on the vice but if it is already broken it doesn't matter how you get it out. The best way is to open your vice just big enough for a bearing to fit through the jaws and lay the wheel flat on top of the vice and hammer out the bad bearing through the vice jaws and it will just fall through the opening.

axle+extra bearing+tighten=success.
worked perfectly in mine.

That is exactly what i am going to do when I get my new bearings .

works everytime and really easy and safe for your bearings

Before you use WD-40, READ

If you use WD-40 to get you bearings in, make sure it doesn't get inside the bearing. It will attract dust and act as a DE-Lubricant.

And even more important, do not get any WD-40 on the wheel itself. It will cause the urethane to deteriorate

and make u slide like a bitch

hahaha i cant believe people are having such a problem these days
