Featured Article:
If you think you need new bearings for your inline skates, it's best to check your bearings for wear using the tests provided in this article. Your bearings are at the core of your wheels and reduce friction so you can skate smoothly and efficiently. Hence, they need to be maintained properly from season to season.
Checking for Wear
The following are indications of major, bearing wear from a no-load, finger-flick, spin test:
- One or more of your wheels stick(s) periodically
- One or more of your wheels (is) are seized
- One or more or your wheels require(s) a lot of force to spin
- One or more of your wheels spin(s) freely for only a second or two
In addition, the following are signs of major, bearing wear from a spin test with the skater as the load:
- While out skating you hear a loud, grinding noise from your bearings
- It takes a lot of effort to pick up and maintain speed when you skate
- Your bearings are hot to the touch after a roll
You may also want to replace your inline skate bearings if you decide to switch to a different type of bearing. You may want to change from shielded bearings to sealed or racing bearings.
Learning the ABEC Scale
Bearings are rated on the Annular Bearing Engineering Council (ABEC) scale. Ratings are numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 on the ABEC scale. The higher the number is, the greater the manufactured precision of the bearing.
However, there are no required materials to meet the ABEC specifications. The bearings only have to be made to a certain precision. That's all!
Servicing your Bearings
Inline skate bearings usually come in sets of four to eight. Before you head out to your favorite sporting goods store, write down the information that's shown on the outer shields of your bearings. Don't forget to flip the bearing over and include the text that's inscribed on the other side.
If you're happy with the original bearings that came with your skates or the last set you installed, by all means buy the same bearings. If you have serviceable bearings like TwinCams or YAKs and you don't mind doing your own cleaning and lubrication than you may want to stick with the double-shielded type, especially if they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that your skate manufacturer recommends.
On the other hand, if you have non-serviceable or sealed bearings and are squeamish about doing your own cleaning and lubrication, even periodically, you may want to stick with this type of bearing and just replace them when they need to be changed.
In addition, if you have shielded bearings with pop-out caps, like Powell Swiss or Black Hole brands, and like them for their ease of maintenance, it's probably best to go with this kind of bearing again.
Buying new Bearings
My K2 skates have 8-mm, TwinCam, ABEC-1, double-shielded bearings with the following inscribed on the casings:
TwinCam
ABEC-1
608 ZZ
Normally, the manufacturer or brand doesn't make a lot of difference within the three categories of shielded, serviceable bearings, shielded, serviceable bearings with pop-up caps, and sealed, non-serviceable bearings. A bearing size of 8 mm and
the 608 designation are fine for recreational, inline skaters. The ABEC rating is another story!
ABEC-1, 3, and 5 are the most common bearings that come with inline skates, as well as the newer ABEC-7s, which are gaining in popularity. Whether a skater can go faster with ABEC-5 bearings versus ABEC-1 bearings has never been proven, scientifically or otherwise.
Furthermore, the higher precision may not make a significant difference for the recreational skater who travels in the 10 to 20 mph range. The average skater doesn't require a higher-rated bearing because the difference in performance is so minimal that it would only become apparent at speeds an inline skater never attains.
In addition, the higher precision eventually deteriorates down to ABEC-3 or 1 due to dust, dirt, and regular wear and tear. To increase your skating speed, you'd be better off to improve your technique and learn how to cut down on wind resistance. These are proven ways to make you a faster and more efficient skater.
So, get the most affordable ABEC-1 or ABEC-3 inline skate bearings you can find, clean and lube them with oil or grease on an annual basis, and you'll be just fine.
Summing Up
When it comes time to purchase new bearings for your inline skates, make sure you write down the information that's inscribed on the outer casing of your bearings before you head to your local, skating shop. In addition, beware that an ABEC rating is nothing more than a bearing precision. If you find a set of bearings at the right price that are suited for your skates, but they have a lower ABEC rating, go for it anyway! You'll probably never notice the difference.

Saturn Wheel Hub Starts to Roll Out Flat-out Performance
To compliment the striking appearance of a Saturn, aside from its bold looks and sleek contours, a Saturn Wheel Hub is attached to the center of the wheels. Furthermore, it has the primary function of attaching the wheels firmly in place. This center hub where the wheel hub protects is where the lugs and bolts are found. They hold a firm grip on the wheel itself so as not be removed.
Such assembly is composed of bearings to enable the wheels to rotate with ease and low-friction level. On rear wheel drives vehicles like the ones from Saturn, there is a rear wheel bearing on each end of the drive axle and two wheel bearings on the front wheel assembly. Built with a tough composition, the hub can bear constant loads.It may come with ornamental metal works to blend well with the overall appearance of its wheels. However, it must be utilized along with the clamp. This is equally integral for a vehicle with a tandem axle (four wheels with two axles on the rear.
But without the use of a Saturn Wheel Hub, there is a great probability that a thief may remove the clamped wheel from the axle and drive away on the three remaining wheels without the need for a replacement tire. Since the bearings endure most of the vehicle's weight, there is a chance that it will wear out, eventually. A defective Saturn Wheel Hub can be detected through a vibration or a humming noise at low speeds while turning. Such noise would mean that the bearings start to wear down. Also, other factors like moisture and maladjustments to the bearings may result in immediate damage. With moisture, rust begins to build up on these bearings, contaminating the grease. Maladjustments, in the meantime, can cause the grease seals to wear. And if leakage happens, the bearings could leak out. Replacement is the proper remedy for this.
For seal bearing assemblies, if a seal has failed, the whole Saturn Wheel Hub assembly must also be replaced but older vehicle’s doesn’t require replacement of the whole assembly. Instead, a damaged seal can be replaced with a new one to extend the life of the bearings.

My Ford Ranger?
I am in the process of changing the hub bearing on my 1998 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 4WD. I have run into a few peoblems one of them happens to be that the hun will not come off from the 4WD axel but it will spin jsut not come off like it is supposed to, could it be like rusted on or frozen on? If that may be the case what is a good and in-expensive way to get the hub bearing off? If you have anymore questions to make your answer better please fell free to ask and when i see them i will try to answer the questions you have, also with the information you have about could you tell me if it is a vacume seal or something else? It has automatic locking hub if that helps at all?
forget the question about the vacuum hubs, i just did some reasearch and found out that they are vacume seal hub. Now here is another question, can a bad hub bearing cause the truck not to lock into 4WD?
Hi;
A bearing fault won't stop your front axle engaging, but the auto hubs are very prone to failure, usually failing to engage, sometimes with alarming banging noises that sound like your gearbox has dropped out!
I'd go for manual lockers every time, they're a 10 minute job to fit & cheap.
