Question:

how do i properly install skateboard bearings?

ok. i got a new pack of bones reds and new wheels. i dont know how to put the bearings in properly though. if I push them in all the way to where the axel goes throgh the wheel there is a good 3mm gap between the bearing and the edge of the wheel, which i'm assuming would make it difficult to get the bearings off. should the bearings go in like that or should they only go to the edge of the wheels? thanks

Answer:

the bearings will go in, you hust might need to push really hard. you cant have them hanging out. worst case, you could just take it somewhere, like sneaker king and they could do it for you.
Put lube around the sides then put it in the side of the wheel. To put it in all the way just use the axle of the truck to push it in.
