I made it through an entire skate season with my trusty scooter, but by the time it was over, the thing was on its last legs. I knew I had to act fast because sending it in for repairs would've taken too long.
When I heard that familiar screeching sound, I knew I was in trouble. The bearing had given up, and I needed a replacement ASAP. That's when I found the NTL Bearing 608-2RS (180018) ABEC-7 Bearing for Scooters, Roller, and Skateboards online.

I ordered it from Ozon because I knew I needed to act fast, as one of the bearings was still working.
By the end of the week, both bearings had given up, and the wheel was stuck.

As it turns out, the bearings on most scooters are the same, so I didn't have to think twice about which one to choose.

I went with the cheapest option, and each bearing cost me 110 rubles.
Description
This is a radial ball bearing with a metal-plastic seal on both sides, which keeps the lubricant inside and prevents water and dust from entering the bearing. It's marked as 608-2RS, which is equivalent to the domestic mark 180018.
To be honest, with all the Chinese products on the market, the price is what matters most when it comes to quality.
NTL Bearing. For scooters, wheels, skateboards ABEC-7This bearing fits my scooter, wheels, and skateboards perfectly.
Initially, I wanted to swap the wheels from my old scooter, but I realized I needed to replace the bearings and bushings as well.
Everything is interchangeableThat's the beauty of it - the wheels on my scooter are interchangeable, and the only difference might be the length of the axle nut.
DrillingMy first challenge was trying to remove the axle nut, but it was stuck due to the six-sided locknut being worn out.
So, I had to drill it out.
Wheel almost removedThe axle nut was a real pain to remove, as the steel core was stuck and the nut was stuck to it.
Drilling it out was a real challenge, but I managed to do it after some effort.
Getting ready to install the new bearingAfter some swearing and 30 minutes of lost time, the wheel was finally removed.
The bearings just fell out.
I thought I'd need a bearing press, but it came out with moderate force.
Increasing the sizeAs someone who's seen the "Bearing Factory" in action, I couldn't resist checking the markings on the new bearing.

NTL Bearing 608-2RS (180018) 6082rs for Skateboards, Scooters, and Rollerblades ABEC-7As I mentioned earlier, you don't need any special tools to install these bearings. However, if you're not careful, you might end up with a loose wheel. To avoid this, simply heat up the axle and cool down the bearing before installation. This will ensure a perfect fit.
Don't forget the lubricantMake sure to apply some lubricant to the axle and the bearing itself. Yes, the bearings come with some pre-applied lubricant, but it's minimal, so feel free to add some extra for good measure.
Back in actionNow, let's do some simple math. With two bearings, a new axle, and a drill bit, I spent a total of 360 rubles on the repair. That's a significant saving, considering a professional repair shop would have charged me 2800 rubles. And if I hadn't had to replace the axle, the whole process would have taken only 10-15 minutes. So, it's definitely worth doing it yourself if you have the skills and the right tools.
I've been using these bearings for about two weeks now, and I'm really impressed with the smooth ride they provide. The bearings are holding up great, and I haven't noticed any annoying noises.
Based on my experience, I'd give these bearings a well-deserved 5-star rating.
