| My bearing is falling out of my wheels and I have no clue why? They are flatface single bearing and when I put the wheels on the axles the wheels slides onto the truck becuase the bearing falls out. Someone please help! |

Specifically.

| From the FF site
"Due to its softness we cannot guarantee the durability of these wheels and will not take any returns or exchanges for them if damaged, but they are priced at a very low cost as a special deal" |

There's your problem. Thats a problem almost everyone seems to have. If you feel like taking the risk you can try gluing them back in but that's a little risky. |

| The safest thing to do right now is to grab the washers from your Ytrucks, and put them behind each wheel. That will stop the bearing from moving. You don't need bushing washers really, because you have Ytrucks, and the kingpin is extra wide.

| Do what Gunner said. He knows a good bit about this stuff.
And yeah T's break a lot. Bearing slippage is a common problem. |

The material is too soft to hold the bearing there, thats why its 20 dollars

| Normally if Brr edition wheel's bearing slip, you can no longer use them on a brt and only on normal wides. (for me it was) the brt pushes the bearing so the bearing moves forward which makes the wheel not roll. So I recommend using the wheels on normal wides? |

| That has happened to alot of people with the BRR T's. The material is so soft.
I guess just do what Gunner Said ^^^ |

| It isn't that the material is too soft that it doesn't hold the bearing. If that were the case, then Substance THCa would be shitty, too. It's the fact that the material is made out of a weird Teflon. The Teflon will crack and the bore hole for the bearing gets bigger, so the bearing can come back out of its little ridge on the inside, making the wheels have a little baby bump, and ruining they're compatibility. |

| What would you reccomend I do then? Should I take all the bearings out and just try to put them in a set of non bearing wheels or just try to glue it in to stay? Thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it! |
