We'd like to say a big thank you to Butters Skate Shop for letting us film in their shop and Cam from Rubicon for his time and expertise.

how to change your wheels & bearings

what you'll need

step 1

Remove the nut from the truck axle.

step 2

Take a bearing and place it on the truck axle.

step 3

Take a wheel and push it down over the bearing, ensuring it is level.

step 4

Each wheel has 2 bearings so repeat for the other side of the wheel.

step 5

Pop the nut back on and tighten with the skate tool. The nut should be securely on, but not too tight, as this impacts how fast the wheel can spin.

step 6

If you need to remove a bearing, use the truck axle to leverage it out.
