This is your guide to replacing the wheels on the K2 softboot carbon rollerblade. If and when the wheels get damaged due to wear and tear, it is important to replace them to avoid any accidents. With our guide, one can smoothly carry out the procedure of switching out the damaged wheel with a new one.

The procedure involves removal of the bearings from the wheel and inserting them into the new wheel as well. This part may require some force so be sure to take precautions and angle the bearings and wheel away from you to avoid getting hurt.

The process will take 10-15 minutes and requires an Allen Wrench. Before you begin the procedure, it is recommended that you clean the surfaces on the rollerblade that you will come in contact with to make sure everything is sterile.
