I've cleaned bearings before, it's not too difficult. Worth a shot if you have some cleaning solvent around already and some grease. However, if they're from cheap completes, they might not be worth saving and some reasonable quality bearings can be had for not a lot.

I recently got some really cheap bearings and I had never understood how horrible they can be. I wish I had understood 30 years earlier that the bearings matter. I'm running Bronsons and some ceramic ones now. They make the world of difference. It is just so much easier to pickup speed in the park and transition tricks become easier when you can actually pump up to them and don't have to get the speed just right on the approach.

Does anyone have experience with the bones bearing cleaning unit or cleaning bearings in general?
Our son’s skateboard has a bad bearing and I’m wondering whether I should replace the bearings or clean the current bearings and apply lube. Personally I rather fix stuff than buy new, but only if it is worth it.
Currently we have three skateboards in our household and a single kickbike. So lots of those wheel bearings which possibly need attention.
