Inline skates - how to install and remove wheel bearings easily - tutorial

- Two methods for installing inline skate wheel bearings and one method for removing them.
Install:
The first one uses the tool that normally comes with your inline skates called an allen key or hex key - if you don't have this tool you can buy one from a skate shop. The second method involves no tools and is super easy to do.
Remove:
Using the tool that normally comes with your skates - very easy to do, just involves a little practice to feel the edge of the bearing before removing it.
Please note though I am not a qualified skate instructor. These are the methods I use on my bearings and have worked just fine for me without any issues. You do anything I show in this video at your own risk.

Can't believe I was so intimidated to do this. Everything was smooth. Great video!
Glad it helped you!
quick tip : when installing a bearing you never want to push it in from the inner cage of the bearing, you risk blowing the bearing appart.
the outer cage of the bearing is what you always wanna exert pression on. at least for inline skate , if it is a different model where the inner cage is whats holding the bearing on a shaft then you exert pression on the inner cage.
@bhammack777 , hi sorry for the delais. to answer your question : you will use tool that push on the inner cage when its a bearing that goes onto a shaft since the inner cage is where the pressure while build up when pushing it in place. if you would push on the outer cage when installing the bearing on a shaft you could break the side shield that hold the grease inside and depending how much pressure your using it could explode with balls rolling everywhere ua-cam.com/video/J4gpLYo0vyw/v-deo.html

Thanks a ton for the tutorial! Really well produced, totally sorted me out. Cheers & stay well
Glad it helped
The thumbs up at the end really brought everything together nicely. New sub!
Quick and informative, thanks for this tutorial 👍
Your welcome
Great timing. almost spooky psychic timing. i got some new bearings last week. Abec 11s i wont swap them in just yet. want to skate the 7s some more first. Probably make a video comparing them.
All the best mate
Take care
I've never knew the abec rating went up to 11. I always thought 9 was the highest! Learnt something new.
WHITTYskater yeah that is what I thought until I found these. Titanium bearings. I’ll put them to the test in a few weeks time. All the best
GREAT VID!!! super informative and I love how easy you make it for the watcher!!!
Thank you. I try hard to make my tutorials as easy to follow as possible.
Much thanks man! Made my life a lot easier. Very straight forward and direct with what you were saying
Vídeo satisfactory, thank's brother.🇧🇷🙏
Thank you!
Thanks i needed this for luminous wheels
Great video for removing and replacing bearings on inline wheels!!
Thank you👊👍
Hey, great video! My bearings have been in the same wheels for years, and I am now really struggling to pop them out... I'm starting to think they've somewhat rusted in place, I'm not sure. Do you have any advice?
So I went to change the wheels on my rollerblades but inside the hole that the screw slots in was a plastic piece preventing me from removing the bearing the way that you showed. I tried anyway by sticking an Alan key in there to pry it up but I completely ruined the plastic. Now the screw doesn’t fit in there properly.
what does it mean if you spin your wheels and they don't spin for long. talking about when they are still in the frame.
Woiked like a charm. No special tools needed. Just an allen wrench. Thans!
Great!
Are those bones reds bearings? What size of spacer is that and where can I get one?
Bones reds. Go project 8mm spacers. Locoskates.
Question, do I have to purchase spacer and bearings when it's time to replace wheels? or can I re-use what was on my skate? Thanks for your awesome videos!
No. Certainly no need to replace the spacers. You may want to change the bearings if they are worn but I re use my bearings at least once with new wheels.
@@whittyskater Thank you so much! You are awesome! I and many other skaters appreciate you and your videos!
Can you recommend what wheels I need for inline outdoor skating. I bought a set of hyper formance g+ 80mm 85A pared with bones racing bearings. I dunno they just don't roll that far I feel like I'm stuck in glue. Would you recommend me changing the wheels for something like rollerblades hydro's or is there something else you could suggest?
Very unique. Use a circle. Objects can be seen clearly.
What will happen if i don't use spacer between the bearings? Is spacer must used?
Do you need a spacer if the wheel already has like a kind of built in one
Corto, preciso y muy informativo y claro. Gracias
Thank you, helps a lot! 👍👍👍
Thank you
Whats the cheapest/best bearings to buy? Currently looking at buying reds
Anyone got any tips on tool-less removal of bearings with 6mm spacers?
My spacer won't stay in the middle, what do I do ? 😔
Hey dude.
Cheers for the video. I have a set of SG7 bearings and at some point will need to clean / lubricate them for maintenance. Do you envisage making a video on something like this in the future?
Cheers and look forward to the future videos 👍
Probably not tbh. I never really clean my bearings.
@@whittyskater ok fair doos. I never use to clean bearings previously on my old skates but with my new pair of Rollerblade RB110s I wanna make sure they are maintained this time around 👍
Thanks for the help!👍🙌
Thanks pal, very clear
Thank you,
Oh I need this. Saved!!!!
I tried removing my middle wheels to have an only 2 wheeler skates but now one of it is stuck since I turned it the wrong way
Thanks mate. That was great.
May I ask you what diameter size your spacers are? Are you using Bones Bearings? I am want to get the same wheels and switch to a 4x90 setup. :)
omg thank you bro. Loved the video!
Thank you
Can bearings be cleaned? I have a new set but got some water/dirt in around the bearings that have slowed them a bunch.
Normally yes. Just search youtube for a 'how to' video
@@whittyskater my spacers rattle and move when inside the 2 bearings, is this normal? I've tried different spacers and it happens with 2 different brands of wheels. am I just doing it wrong?
I have a question. I have a pair of Danny Beer 909’s and some 88mm/92a Dead Wheels with Bones Swiss Bearings. I can’t find spacers that fit. The stock spacers on the 909’s have a lip around them. Any ideas for Dead Wheel Spacers? Even the ones on the DW website look to big.
I would try asking a skate shop for some help. I'm not an expert on bearings sorry. Only know about the ones I use.
Really help!
Heyy Buddy, can you please suggest me where I can buy the the best inline skates roller blades ... With few model.... You can please email me the best models
Thank you for sharing this .. My new inline skatter with four wheel rolls faster , how do I make it slower , .. does the bearing has something to do with this , like tighening it or removing the spacer to add more friction ? any tips on this ? thank you
This is quite an odd request tbh....but you could swap the bearings for some older ones..... They will probably help you go slower. Don't over tighten the axles or remove the spacers! Personally though just keep practicing and you will get used to the extra speed. New, faster bearing will make it much easier to skate
Are you on crack?
I have change the old wheels, and when I mount them on the frame and when I tightening the screw the wheels are not spinning ok
I haved press the bearing on the table to be sure they are ok in place
( frame from oxelo MF900, wheels from rollerblade 3x110 )
What should I try next?
After some tours they will work ok?
Sounds like the screws are too tight and they are pulling the frame in and pinching the wheels. Not sure of the quality of those frames?
@@whittyskater Thank you for reply, Strange thing is, the oxelo wheels I'm able to tight them ok, the roller blade wheels are doing this thing
I have press more the bearings and now are spinning a little better ( maybe the bearing spot at this new wheels are not ok
Seem to have loose spacer making noise in brand new powerslides ! Any suggestion how to fix ? Is this dangerous to skate with ?
Depending on the type of spacer they use sometimes they can rattle a bit. Maybe remove the wheel and pop the bearing out and make sure the spacer looks ok and is sitting properly.
@@whittyskater thanks for response ✌🏾 I did this very thing and the seemed to lessen the noise , I think just had to tighten them after first skate out of box . Thanks again
few day's ago i opened 1st time my bearings from FR1 skates, and i saw something weird, so inside i have something like gel or lubricant, and i dont know what to do, can i clean it and use oil? In my previous powerslide skates there was nothing like this inside, so i dont know can i use oil, or i need to use lubricant after cleaning?
Why not ask the skate shop you bought your skates from. I'm sure they can help.
Hi!!! I just bought my son the new bounce in-line 2 in 1 convertible skates but I don’t know how to change them from having the wheels all in a single row to having 2 of them side by side and one in the front so it’s easier for my son to balance on them. Please help!!! I can’t find ANYTHING on how to do it!!
Sorry never heard of them!?
@@whittyskater thanks anyways! Merry Christmas!
I can't find that slim bearing spacer that UC wheel requires, I've search all over the world overseas online and no where in the world in stock!
They use regular skate bearings spacers?
Hello, Whitty!
Hello!
Mine are stuck from old age and rust, should I just pry harder or is there a trick?
Try some WD40 or something similar
@@whittyskater Thanks. I thought of that but it seems stuck against the actual wheel as opposed to the metal. Therefore, i didnt think the WD would help much. I've got time before my new bearings arrive so i think I'll just spray'em anyway.
Thanks!
Nice undercover wheels you got there
Really enjoying them. Was worried at 86a they might have too much slide but they are really good.
Does it work for normal Allen key where it was shape like a L shape?
Should do
Do you need the spacers?
Yes i think so
@@whittyskater I just finished a roller hockey game and yes you definitely do lmao
I got bones reds on mine but for some reason yours turn way better than mine
my bones reds have always seemed good quality with a nice roll
What is the size of allen key
4mm
How many pairs of skates do you own? Wanna sell a pair the USA is fresh out of rollerblades
6 pairs. Nope!
How to order bearings
Skate shop or a skate website will sell them.
Mine seem stuck?
They can be quite tight to remove
Hey, where was the no tools method removing the bearings and spacers???
😂😂😂Only joking, good work!
Thanks!
Bro it doesn’t come out my shit got bent up and destroyed tf
Mine is encredibly hard to get out
Yes they can be stiff. Maybe consider a proper bearings puller.
would have made more sense to have the removing part first imo
Was it just me? Or was there no part that shows how to remove the bearing…
Iya gpp gpp gpp 000000
I hope you give me one rollerblade I hope you notice me 🙏 I'm from Philippines 😊
