Sportshield Roll-on

Clean bearings roll smoother, are rapidly and without delay and will last longer than dirty bearings. Grit and sand may cause little pits in the balls and construct an uneven rotation. Below are instructions on how to clean a bearing with a removable shield. If the shield on your bearings are stationary, ignore the steps which are directed to removing shields.

If you clean and lubricate your bearing ofttimes they must last you a long time. Always refrain from getting your bearings wet, and keep them free of sand! Clean and lubricate skate bearings without delay if they become wet.

Tools You Will Need:

Small bowl or metal pan

Straight pin

Bearing cleaner

Small cleaning brush such as a toothbrush. Soft or medium, not one thing too hard!

Clean towels

Paper Towels

1. For removable shields: Insert the end of the straight pin into the end of the C-ring which holds the shield onto the bearing body. Very gently pry the C-ring up and towards the center of the bearing, working your way around the circle. Remove the shield slowly, always taking care not to harm it.

2. Place bearing in container or bowl and flush with bearing cleaner to remove contaminants. Citrus cleaners work well. Use the little brush or toothbrush and remove larger pieces of dirt and grime. If your bearings are specially dirty, you may have to repeat this step. Be sure to change your solvent with each rinsing.

3. After you have cleaned the bearing, pat it gently arid with a clean, lint free towel. Place on a paper towel and concede it to air dry. Make sure that all water has evaporated and dries out wholly before proceeding to the next step.

4. After the bearing has exclusively dried, utilise 1 to 2 drops of quality lubricant to the inside of the bearing. A little lubricant goes a long way. Rotate the bearing tardily to work the lubricant in to all of the moving parts. Make sure the balls are exclusively covered in oil/grease.

5. Replace the shield by placing it on top of bearing and slipping the C-ring into the groove next to the shield. Then work remaining length of C-ring tardily and gently around the fitted groove until it snaps back into place.

6. Put your freshly cleaned bearings back on your skates and spun them to insure oil/greases is evenly circulated and wheels are spinning smoothly.

Warning: Always use extreme caution whenever working with any cleaning solvent. Bearing Cleaner is a toxic chemical and will have to be washed off skin immediately.
