Bottom bracket installation requires specialized tools. So even if you are able to find the propper size BB you would still need to buy the tooling. That's not very cost effective for something you're only going to do one time. I would weigh out the cost of taking it to a bike shop against the price of a new bike. Good luck

No. BMX bikes typically use a different style similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000IQBBKO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1417644028&sr;=8-1π=AC_SY200_QL40

No way for me to know...It is best to take it to a bike shop. They can measure it and suggest a replacement. It should run no more than 25-30 dollars and about 15 or so to install it. It will be worth your money to do this because if you do it yourself you will also need a bottom bracket tool so you probably have to spend about the same or a little more than if a bike shop does it for you. Call around and get 2 or 3 quotes.

I googled it and it says its a 68mm english bottom bracket. Depending on what crank your going to use will decide on what shaft length to use on your bottom bracket. Once again.... DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!

After some time riding in them, i noticed they dont last a lot of time. Compared to S9 Greaseballs they are very good, but please, greaseballs are the worst bearings. So, I decided to buy Zealous bearings. They rock, better than these super reds, and they cost 14 dollars. The zealous bearings have an oil the fills in scratches and over time the oil in the scratches hardens and makes a smooth ride. Check 'em out they are so much better than these and to answer your question, it will always stay that way, that happened to me, but maybe my bearings came out wrong.

You may not like the answer. But I had problem with rear wheel bearing. After one weekend bearing literally disintegrated. I could not find part on web site and tech support was unhelpful, needed picture of it???? Probably last Chinese bike I buy

I just realized which trucks you were buying. Any standard 70 mm wheel and bearing kit is great. Get a riser and bolt length depending on how you are mounting them and how thick the riser is. I would recommend a full kit that includes everythung. Bearings are standard sizes. Sorry I didn't read through before answering.

How new? My bearings went out after 1.5 years and still waiting on replacement- it went out in September! It sounded almost like a metal on metal grinding.

Sorry, I can't find a record of my Bottom Bracket order but would recommend checking out this page for advice.http://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html

I had difficulty with the entire set-up from beginning to end. As far as the posts, I originally had that problem because I had the posts in the wrong insert. Once I switched them around, the posts were fine. It was the backboard that was the worst - popped off and hit my son in the face, knocking off his glasses. I ended up returning the entire set. Good luck and be careful.

Hello Laura, The bottom bracket is reverse threaded so it does not come loose when pedaling. As far as the size wrench you need i'm not 100% but you could use a crescent wrench to loosen the nut. We do not manufacturer this bottom bracket so I do not know the exact size mm for the ball bearings.let me know if this info helps you at all. Thank you!

No, you need MTD part # 984-04253-0637. This is for a left hand drive and the bearings won't line up. There is one listed from MTD for yours for $88 that comes with 2 bearings right now, that's a solid deal!

I got Bones Red Precision Skate bearings after reading Amazon reviews, but any Abec bearings will work. The Bones bearings seem to be working good.

Personally, I would purchase some standard trucks to fit standard 8mm bearings, because in the long run, your bearings can break, get dirty, or you might just want faster ones, and it would be much easier for you to find bearings, wheels, and bolts in that size, and there's more variety in the 8mm size. I don't really understand, do 8mm or 7mm not fit your trucks as in their bore is to small?

I had bad luck with bones reds, had to return them twice because of some grinding issue, then got some super reds worked perfectly and runs extremely smooth especially if you clean and lube them on occasion. If you would want to go the cheaper route you have the possibility of getting a few bad bearings vs paying a little more getting better quality. as for which ones last longer I do not know.

the bottom bracket refers to the axle that the crank arms attach to... the crankset comes with everything to attach it to your frame except the wrench to tighten it

Bearings weren't the problem. The trucks don't turn as sharp as you'd like. I told myself it was the length of the board which made the turns wider since it's pretty long, but I enjoy turning on my friends 43 incher. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad board, I loved it. Just needs breaking into

NONE! The bearings in this board are perfectly fine. Just ride it and you'll see. Why spend more $$ on other bearings just to say you have name brand bearings. Blah blah blah. Ride it and you 'll see they are perfectly fine, fast and fun!
