Introduction

In this guide, an Enkeeo Longboard was used. This guide should be used to replace the bearings on similar longboards with new bearings. You can also clean existing bearings or replace other parts, like wheels, washers, or spacers.

Step 1 Longboard Bearings

On a flat surface, unscrew the nut that holds the wheel on the axle using the correct size from the skateboard tool (1/2" size, typically the smaller of the 2 on the top of the 'T') and turning to the left.

Step 3

Use the pointy end of the small tool that comes with the Skate Tool and insert it under the bearing (look at the red arrow) to pry (and we mean PRY) out one of the bearings.

Step 4

Remove the spacer that sits between the bearings on the inside of the wheel.

Step 5

Insert one of the new bearings into the wheel. It should not matter what way you put it in unless they are specialty bearings.

Step 8

Using the 1/2" side of the Skate Tool, screw the nut back on the axle to hold the wheel in place.

Step 9

Test the wheel by spinning it on the board to check that it moves freely.
