Relubricating

	Remove the bolts that hold the wheels in place.
	Remove the wheels from the frames (but keep in mind which wheel goes where), and clean as much sand and dirt from the bearings (and wheels) as possible.
	Remove the first bearing by pushing out the spacer with a skatekey. Now push out the other one with your thumb.
	Once every couple of times you do this, you should also clean them with white spirit ("wasbenzine"), as follows:
	Put all the bearings in a small pot, and add white spirit. Take care that all bearings are covered with it.
	Now shake the pot gently, or use an old toothbrush or something to clean the bearings.
	When the bearings seem clean, remove them from the pot, and dry with a bit of cloth, to remove excess white spirit.
	Now the bearings are ready to be relubricated. A teflon oil works best, but remember, it only takes a couple of drops.
	Now reassemble the wheels and the skate, and of you go.
