Question:

how to replace rusted bearings and wheels on my skateboard...?

i just found my skateboard after about 5 years and two of the wheels are rusted and wont move. im working on replacing the wheels and bearings, but the two rusted wheels still wont come off i was able to get the bolt off of one and it now spins, but thats about it. its been soaking in coke all week and i bought wd-40 today and used that.

Answer:

wow kk BUY some NEW bearings like lucky 7s or some bones red. and just take the wheels off and then figure out how to take the bearings out... which is simple as taking a screwdriver and torqueing them out and then just put the new bearings in and your set to go...
once bearings start to rust, they continue to do so even with cleaning and lubrication. The bearings will become unusable in a very short time once rust appears. Get a skate tool from a skate shop. If toy don't want to spend the money, an adjustable wrench, socket set or a pair of pliers will work for your board. You need a philips screwdriver to tighten the hardware
buy new one if rusted - you don't ride it - so buy new one let it rust to
