Meio, this is your cover, painted as requested. Hope u like it...

beans, dont waste the hg multi setting frp, use it for technical setup.

Hey guys. I thought i would share my method of cleaning and maintaining my bearings. Its quite a simple procedure and can be done in under 45 mins if ur efficient. Its my skate bearings cleaning tutorial i wrote for another site. but the concept and method is same as i do for my tamiya bearings.

Heres what u need.




1) Skate tool ( or any tool that is the right size )
2) Tweezers ( or what ever u like to use that works similarly )
3) Lighter/Zippo Fluid
4) RC Cold Cleaner Spray ( you can get this at most remote control shops. its a common cleaning spray they use. u dun have to get the exact brand. costs about 10 dollars where i am. )
5) Small glass container with a cap ( u can use anything u want. but glass is the best coz it doesn't stain or get damaged easily by chemicals )
6) Any small container or bowl ( anything works as long as it can hold liquid )
7) An old rag
8) Gloves, preferably rubber ( i recommend getting a pack or a box so u dun have to run out and get them again )
9) A clean open workspace
10) the bearings of course.
11) Bearing lube ( any lube thats made for bearings, i use a bearing lube for rc car bearings thats designed so that less dust sticks to it )

It seems like a long list but all the parts on there are reusable except for the gloves. Consider it an investment for clean and smooth bearings.

Step 1 - Removing the wheels

Grab your skate tool or whatever your using and take off the 4 wheels. Be careful not to lose the wheel washers unless uve got spares or are replacing them. Put all the washers and nuts into a small tray or container so u don't lose them.



Step 2 - Removing the bearings

This step is simple. Just put the wheel on the trucks axle about 1/3 way down. Where the end of the axle is just slightly over the first bearing. Now just apply pressure at an angle and the bearing should pop out. Carefull about the bearing spacers. Pop them into the container where u have the washers and the nuts. Just repeat for each bearing.



Step 3 - First Rinse

This is the first rinse to get rid of all the major grease, oil, dirt and whatever thats in the bearings. Put all the bearings into a container or bowl, in this case im using a small cup. Fill the cup with zippo/lighter fluid till it submerges all the bearings. Let it sit for a minute. Then remove all the bearings with ur tweezers. Dispose of the lighter fluid safely. I just pour it down the drain in the bathroom.



Step 4 - Individual Rinse

This is to clean out the bearing even more. Same as step 3, but fill the container just enough to submerge 2 bearings. Now put 1 bearing into the container and use the tweezers to move the bearing around inside the fluid. Good way to do it is to put the tweezer through the center of the bearing and roll the bearing around he inner edge of the container. This way u work the fluid into the deeper parts of the bearing and also dislodges dirt that didn't come out in the first rinse. Repeat for each bearing, about 1minute each would be good. U dont have to change out the fluid with every bearing. One thing to note, put the bearing ball cage side up when in the solution. The dirt comes out more easily. Once done with all 8, lay the bearings on a clean surface to dry. It takes less than 1 min for zippo fluid to dry so dun have to wait too long.

Step 5 - Deep Clean Rinse

Now take a container with a cap and fill it 2 and half bearings high with the cold cleaner spray. Put two bearings in and close the cap. Shake for about 1 minute. Repeat till all the bearings have been cleaned. I normally repeat this step twice just to make sure the bearings are absolutely clean. Change the fluid after every 4 bearings. Dump the used fluid into the container with the washers, nuts and spacers. When done with all the bearings. Set them out to dry on a clean surface. While waiting to dry just give the container with the nuts, washers and spacers a shake. This is to clean what ever grease or dirt thats trapped in the spacers or washers. Wipe them done after with a rag and let them dry.





Should be left with something like this once done.




Step 6 - Re- Lubricating the Bearing

Once dry, give each bearing a quick spin and see if it spins freely. if it doesn't u got a bad bearing. Now set the bearings ball cage side down, and drop 2 drops of bearing lube into the bearing. Give it another couple of spins to work the oil into the bearing. Its also good practice to put a drop of oil on ur finger and rub in onto the other surfaces of the bearing and also the outside surface of the ball cage to prevent rust.



Now put the tweezer through the bearing and spin it a few times., making sure the bearing can spin smoothly. It normally spin very long because there fresh oil in the bearing, just skate it a for a few hours and it would eventually set in. . Now youre all done. Put the bearing back into the wheels , wheel washers on the truck axle and reinstall the nut.
