Silicone, satin, and reshape. Just that kind of stuff, you maybe can mess with the axle and maybe replace the bearing and stuff too.

Just maybe because it’s beat up? It might make a really nice finish for it. ---

> [@YORYAN](#): > > is there any mods u guys know of that would work to fix this up? What do you think it should do better, that a mod would fix? If it’s just beat and needs a bit of cleanup, work it over w/some 300-600 wet dry paper (wet), or some fine steel wool, like 000 or 0000 grade. ---

> [@laxdude99](#): > > Get silicone pads or silicone it > > Get a a center track or kk both are better than a stock bearing (in my opinion ) Siliconing it will do it some good. But center trac and kk bearing might be better in your opinion, but help you no more than a flat bearing. If any bearing, (just clean your stock one) I would say a 10 ball bearing. They are smoother and quieter but improve your sleep times, play, etc. Hope I helped! ---
