So i took my bearings out of my skateboard to clean, and now i can't get them back in! I know that pounding it dents it, because i tried it before and i ruined my bearings. but its too hard to push them back in with my thumbs, i have the hard wheels. Somebody help me!
Thumbs up for big thats how you should always install your bearings, make sure to press as straight as you can and they'll pop in better.
put the wheels on the board with the bearings even if they arent all the way on the tighten the wheels on as tight as you can then the bearings should pop in place.
do not do any of that stuff as the bolt will damage your bearings and so will pounding it. Take one bearing and put it on your truck without the wheel. Then take your wheel without bearings, and press it down on the bearing as hard as you can, then flip it over and do it again. If you do not understand that or it is not working take your board to your local skateshop. They will have a bearing press and should put your bearings back in your wheels for free.
