Things to look out for refurbing Skyways

[Baldies990]

Guys my Skyway Tuff2's need a tart up and some new bearings, they are original items in Green so can you get sealed bearings for them, if not what sort of size loose bearings do i need?
What;s the best for cleaning them up without wrecking them?
Is there anything i should be looking out for?

6mm loose baring mate, you can buy them off eBay, also Dylon or Rit dye to get the green back.

Hope it helps, I did the same to mine, not ridden on them though.

If they fall apart, don't come to me.

That Dylon is the new stuff and won't work   

you need Dylon MP range - Multi purpose

hot soapy water, scrub like fook!  dishwasher is also a good way of cleaning them.

good spray of WD40 gets the colour back

make sure you put plenty on the braking surface, will stop your pads squeaking
