Default Putting bearings in H.L. Pershing wheels

This has been done before, but here's how I've done it for under $30.00 of supply...
The hard part of the mod. was to split open the wheels without breaking them.( Thanks to the H.L. glue monkeys)

First, here's where I got the bearings:http://www.ebay.ca/itm/20pcs-604-2RS...32acd7f&_uhb=1

For the rest, here's some pictures with commentaries:

Good job. Just a comment. you don't need to replace the hex nuts just to make a clereance of 0,5-0,8mm in the plastic, then you will be able to adsjust the hex nut as much as you want.

Nice tutorial. I like that you included the bearing source and details on drill sizes and hardware specs. Thanks.

JUST make sure you use a plastic safe lubricant on those bearings! Would hate to see all the hard work 'crumble' away.
