    how to make rain bearings

    step 1: go to buy the cheapest set of removable shield bearings you can find multiple sets are good but not a necesity

    step 2: remove shields (they can let water be trapped in the races)

    step 3: apply grease to taste (i use machining grease or motor oil)

    step 4: go skate

    I prefer strawberry flavored anal lube. It gives off a sweet aroma with every slide

    You have to do it yourself. If you can afford to buy full ceramics, surely you can buy a $3 tube of lithium grease.

    Remove shield with a small flat screw driver or exacto knife or whatever else works for you



    I like the bones/oust bottle the best, I use Acetone for the first wash



    I also have a home made cleaning bottle with 99% alcohol for the final rinse



    you only need enough to fill 3 pockets in the races between the balls imo.



    but you can do less or more depending on your preference and type of grease/lubricant. like with just a dab over every ball



    spin



    put shields back on

    waterproof bearings. done.
