dented bearing still usable?

[sandals91]

I dented some of my old bearings while removing them. Are any dents bad or are these still usable?

Do they still spin freely? If not, get in there and remove the dented shield. It's hard on greaseballs but totally possible. I had this same problem, and removing the shield fixed it. Just make sure the open side points inward in the wheel.

two of them stick, but not unbearable.I'll have to try removing the shield, greaseballs are such a pain but they're great for the rain.
