Ok, having trouble keeping your bearings clean, fast and smooth? Well i've got the trick, take your wheels of by unscrewing the nut's at the end of the wheels, then get an aerosol can (any will do) and spray the bearings at the front and at the back, then get some tissue (alot), and clean other the bearing (so there's mud collecting on the tissue), and roll a tissue up (like rollups - fags) and thread it through the middle of the bearing which will clean the middle of your bearing and then sprang once more at both sides and put your washers etc back on and your wheel and before u put the nut back on spin your wheel (smooth and as fast as hell dudes), no joke me and my cusson do it with ours (****You) on ramprage.

Steps

1. Take your wheel nuts of.
2. Remove your wheels and spacers.
3. Give your bearings a spray on each side.
4. Get some tissue and wipe them clean (in and out).
5. Afta you've cleaned them spray one more time on each side.
6. Place back on your board, and spin them u can see the difference.
7. Put the nuts back on also and your off, dudes!

Yeah it makes them proper fast but you have to take your time and do it properly.

Body spray inc. Lynx, adidas body spray etc.

It works so if u have any Lynx etc. then now the time they'll come in great use!;)

its kinda hard. you have to get a screw driver and put it in your wheel between the 2 bearings and use the screw driver like a lever to pull the bearing out.

Yo blind dude did u say u use WD-40 on your bearings, cause if so your a f@#$%*&
retard it might make them fast for a little bit but it corrodes the stuff that covers the metal bearing cause metal on its own doesnt spin well, now does it
