Great video. Thanks for the thorough commentary. Really helped me understand ball bearings and the forces at work better, specifically the bit about the drag and friction on the ball bearings themselves. It's cool that you went in to depth on why a flat spot can degenerate a bearing.
I said in the video that the bearings were left out 1-2 months. I did some date checking, and it looks like I underestimated quite a bit. These bearings were left out More Than 4 months. That is some serious exposure right there.
I have this issue but caused by corrosive vapours (fume hood fan) - unfortunately a chemically resistant fan is very expensive and so is the special tool for replacing the bearing. I will try to clean them as you advised, maybe try a de-rusting solution (acetic/oxalic acids) and hopefully they will run again. I found some polyether gas filters that should protect the fan from some of the corrosive and solvent vapours and maybe I will install extra filters (activated carbon to remove solvents, wetted filter wool to absorb acidic gases) to increase life span of the fan... the fan is otherwise in good condition, it's just the metal parts of the motor and the bearings that suffer most.
i skated in the rain yesterday to school and today the wheels wont turn! i guess i really fucked my bearings didnt i :( im just a noob i had no idea this would happen.
Did you fix it? Same thing happened to me. My bearings are dry asf and kind of rusty. They're bones but I've never tried looking after them until now where they pretty much can't spin at all anymore. I need to get lube and remove the rust and should be ok
Let’s be honest, no I’m not twelve but back in the fidget spinner phase I did use four of my best bearings from my skate board for it and they dried out :( I hate fidget spinners they suck.
I'm not too sure if thats a good idea or not. Acids can do things to hardened steel, and hardness is very important for bearings. I would definitely be conservative with that method.
"Fidget spinner bearings" are actually skate board bearings. Get you facts straight. I bet you are just some stupid over privileged 4 year old who knows nothing about skate boards.

I've really become a fan of Deoxit, I've not tried it in bearings or anything before, but it really seems to work very well as a corrosion inhibitor. I think just a little drop of 100% deoxit could go a long way in protecting the bearing in a situation like your.
How I actually cleaned the bearings is at 2:02 - 4:30

1st step : Soak bearings in Coke.
2nd step : Rinse with nail polish remover.
3rd step : Apply lubricant before use.
Hopefully this helps. 😉✌
phreakers86 how long are you soak the berring in the coke
What kind of lubrincant
1/2 hour should be good
Phreakers86 thank u

@@ShapurTheLegend take the seal off, soak in isopropyl or ethanol for a while, then wipe em down good
Banning Lyth how long is “a while”?
@@harrisonblazevski-coe5155I've been soaking mine for 2 years now
It actually works
Keep these vids coming bro, I love them. Very interesting, I'd love your job/hobby.
I found some old ones outside and I want to use them but they dont even move,will this work?
yes it will I have some and I put them in water and just using it it will work
Wilmer Perez won’t water make the rust worse? What temperature?
Hey LBT, can you do a review of some Seismic Tekton bearing systems? Cause I have bought 2 or 3 sets and they claim to have a different setup.
It work just like in the movie! Just focus more on “how to” less commentary. Thank you for this video
Yeah, I didn't plan on having this getting 10's of thousands of hits for people searching for a How-To.
Let’s be honest, no I’m not twelve but back in the fidget spinner phase I did use four of my best bearings from my skate board for it and they dried out :( I hate fidget spinners they suck.
my bearing won't spin at all and it's not even that rusty
I put my bearings in vinegar for 1 Day to a week
I'm not too sure if thats a good idea or not.

found a rusty fidget spinner bearing on the ground!!

jollygreenjeff easy on the kid he’s allowed to have fun
jollygreenjeff shut the fuck up.
You know all you half to do is put tooth paste in it and get a dish sponge and wipe away the rust
Lol I kinda just used salt.
helpfull to fix my figget spinner lol
What the hell is going in this video noting usefull or informative wasted 30 secs
We don't need to know a life storie just get on with the vid
Right? lol, so much rambling on and on and on about basic shit.
