- As a Skate Dad supporting our son's passion for skateboarding, I have learned or figured out over the years certain things (aka "hacks") to make things easier, more enjoyable or "best practices" that work for our family to keep us enjoying the time together.

Today's video is a Skate Dad Hack on a recommendation to get a bearing press if you work on your board or your child(ren's) skateboard(s) often.
The bearing press has been a great addition to my skateboarding tool set to assemble/disassemble the wheels and bearings instead of using the traditional method of using the skate truck to install or remove the bearing from the wheel.
It has made that process so much easier and faster. Further, I have not smashed my knuckles against the board when trying to pry and take the bearings out or ended up stripping the thread on the truck's axle.
The bearing press used in this video is made by Bont which can be found here: www.amazon.com...
That is exactly the one my wife and kids got me for Christmas. Love it.
I got the independent truck one and love it. So much easier and faster than the old bend/push on the truck axle method. Its nice to see someone else who uses wheel spacers too!
I'm going to have to get one of these. My son got one of the handheld bearing pullers, it works ok, unless you're using spacers. lol Thanks for the vid.
This is key if you use any kind of wheels with nylon or aluminum hubs.
