Guide to Fitting Skateboard Bearings
At some stage, every skateboarder must fit the bearings, whether they are inserting a brand new set or reinserting after cleaning. Thankfully, the fitting process for skateboard bearings is swift and requires only a skate tool. Our short video demonstrates how this can be done effortlessly:
- Begin by taking off the nut from the truck. If it is stuck, use a skate tool.
- Next, take off the speed ring.
- Position one bearing onto the truck, followed by the wheel.
- Ensure the wheel is aligned with the bearing and press down using both hands.
- Detach the wheel and replicate these steps on the other side.
Your bearings are now securely fitted!
