they seem to always Rust out. ive never changed a bearing but i did remove it from the bar and soaked it a kero bath. then spun it up on a drill to free up a bit of that rust. to finish i packed it with a thin grease. it will never be as good as new but will last a bit longer

Thanks Scanno. I will have to give this a try.
I see the 2017 North Bar has ceramic bearings.

Go to a skateboard shop they'll sell you one for a couple of dollars or maybe have a spare one for free then pack in grease Vaseline. has worked fine for me for a couple of years now.

You can't!
Soak it in diesel for a few days then spray with silicon spray!
It requires regular maintenance, ie soaking n spraying.
If that doesn't fix it it needs to BE REPLACED!
