Do I need to change bearings?

Only if the shaft that runs thru the wheel is not 3/4 inches in diameter. On my mower I had to change the bearings because my axle bolt or shaft was 5/8 " in diameter. They are simple to change and cheap. Even with the purchase of the (4) bearings. (2) per wheel it was still cheaper than buying a new tire and rim that hold air.

save your money. the tire falls off the rim and then it is useless, no wazy to have put back on

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like.First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

I think my kit came with the bearings. My mechanic didn't charge me for any extra parts. You should address with Exedy.

My husband says to adjust rear wheel inter race bearing cones on the back and front wheel( may have to loosen crank and handle bars too). Wherever there are ball-bearings there are places where to adjust.

I did both only because I am keeping the vehicle at least another 50K miles. You can do them one at a time with no issues. Just keep in mind the other side works just as hard and has just as many miles on it. To me, half the work is getting setup just to do the work. Make the time, get the tools out and so on. Just a little more time to both if you can afford it. These are great bearings. As for the no-name brands, just say no thanks.

I see no ball bearings anywhere on my slide. They don't appear to be needed, but may be an addition on later models.

Yes. the pedals are a little flimsy so don't be surprised if you need to replace those immediately. make sure you tighten all nuts and bolts before using. mine all came extremely loose.

Not required, BUT I would strongly recommend buying the Bearing Buddy Bra (rubber slip over covers) to keep dirt and water out of the bearing buddy and therefore out of your wheel bearing.

Yes, they see to be interchangeable, but I put mine on last spring. The car in parking for a month over the summer. Now at the end of the summer it seems my right front bearing has gone bad. Not even 5 total months of use. I intend to pursue a refund.

I didn't give it much of a chance to improve, I returned after a couple weeks. It seemed to me to be a problem with the bearings, perhaps too small or too few. So that made me think it could only worsen over time.

I don't see why not. Pull the wheel, unbolt caliper and hang to the side, undo 4 bolts and install new bearing, reinstall caliper and wheel. Just remember to pump the brake pedal a few times before driving off when first done. Youtube also has a short video if you want to see how simple this change really is.

I bought a otheir one , before buying make sure you check how much are the tires , because they don't last on mine , I don't know about that one but yeah I already change the tires more then once and then my bearings went and I was lucky that my bf knew how to repair that because they did not sale the bearings , just the whole wheel

Yes these have the bearings. Just take your old wheels off and slip these babies back on you are good to go. I can't believe how expensive they were where I bought my lawn mower. (local mower shop) These work great. I am sure they came from china because they had a funky plastic smell, but at half the cost of my local mower shop I don't care. I mowed all last season and have had no problems. They are really not made any better than the stock units, but it doesn't matter. I would buy them again.

You have to use the carriers included with the kit as the bore/bearings are larger than stock. Fear not, they are very stout. Also, I had a problem with my hubs bottoming out/axle being too long. A few washers took care of that.

Yes, you need a new belt. Be careful. I just got the belt and bearings replaced and a new filter for about $40 and it worked great for 15 minutes. Then the belt broke again.

Not really poss to replace them. If bearings need replace we send new rope. Dual core steel bearings is what they are. Hope this helps.
