I have the flash style heelys and my wheels won't work! They are the c-clip wheels with ABEC 1 bearings. One of my wheels doesn't spin but they c-clip does when I hold it up and move it with my nail, my other wheel works perfectly(the c-clip and the axle both move), while with the broken wheel only the c-clip moves.  I want to do this again  
How can i fix it? 
Thanks |

Hmm, try to use a c-clip remover to remove the c-clip axles.
Then try to buy some ABEC 1 688 Micro bearings. Use a screwdriver or something to get the bearings off.
Replace them and that should do it.
Good Luck  |

| Just pick up some new wheels. They're $15-$20 and you could get ABEC 7's which will be ten times better than those 1's that you have now. |

I agree with Kage. Unless you feel the need to keep the same wheels, and you don't want to purchase new bearings, you can always work on them by taking the shielding off and then cleaning them with some break cleaner (never EVER use WD40). Be careful though, cause if you pry the shielding off too hard and you place a dent in it, it can cause the bearings to stick in that one spot, causing an immediate halt to your skating.
Also, for the future, avoid skating in water, sand, rock salt, etc, because anything that gets inside your bearings will cause damage to them |

Just to add, there's this stuff from Walmart called 3in1 and it's unbelievable. I'd swear it made my ABEC 5's into ABEC 7's. It's really cheap too and you'll never run out. |

If you go to a skate shop, they could take apart the c-clip axle for you |
