In this egg,I will show you how to turn a skate bearing into a polished up ring.I would advise using a old bearing as your not destroying a new one for this.
You first want to remove the bearing from the skate wheel.
Take a skate tool or screwdriver and pry out the bearing.
Now take off the shields if your bearings have removable shields or you can pry out the ball retainer.
You want to do this to both sides so nothing is holding the ball bearings in place.
Now that everything is removed,you should be left with the bearing case.
As you can see,the bearing has been darkened by dirt,rust,ect.
Take a dremel and attach a steel wire grinder to it then follow up with a nylon head.Proceed to clean until the case is polished and free of any dirt.
The bearing should be cleaner and polished by now.
Voila! You now have a pretty much free ring that will not break nor bend. |

It is a close size 13 but it can vary slightly on the brand of skate bearings you use. |

More like brown. He said he had to clean the rust of which means the rust can leave a nice brown ring on your finger. For some people having a brown ring on their finger is normal. Not for me, though. lololol 4* |

Anyway to get a smaller ring? or are most bearings the same size just with different wheels on them? |

you could possibly find a bering in your size but it wouldn’t be for skating and most skatebearings are the same size,only the wheel changes |

Aside from the idea, it sounds really fun... I should try that whenever i get a crazy assed tool like that, I mean come on thats not very conventional! lol wow, but seriously thats a cool idea |

I made one :)
Well 2, My first one was shitty because it had tiny bit of oil and i dont have a dremel, my 2nd was awesome!
By the way i got these from a 8 year old skateboard, and they were shiny as hell! 5* again |
