Question:

I need help cleaning my skateboard bearings?

im confuse... so, i know how to remove the wheels and bearings and stuff. i wanna know what to use. my friend told me to use acetone but idk what acetone is... could someone tell me? and i also wanna know how to clean it. do i just pour the acetone in a bowl and put the bearings in? or do i have to remove the sheild of the bearings before i put it in? could someone help please?if you can tell me what acetone is and where i can get it. is it in nail polish remover? thanks

Answer:

WELL.....you can just use some rubbing alchol, pour some of it in a small container with a lid and pop them goomba bearings all up in that junk, you can take the sheilds off if you want but you dont really need to, put the lid on the container swish them badboys around for like 5-8 min and wash the bearings off in some water for a little bit, then get some lubricant for them so they wont be super dry and sound horrible, and i dont recommend wd40 because its to thin and it dosnt lubricate thet well, and dont use anything to thick that will stop up ur bearings like grease or something. P.S.-it will help clean better if you take the sheilds off but its not that big of a deal. this guy above me is a GOOMBA, dont trust him he only wants your candy.
