How do you change the wheels to convert an indoor skate into an outdoor skate?
Last Updated: 08/19/2011
You should be able to change the wheels on most skates. We actually offer outdoor and indoor wheel upgrade kits. These kits both ship with the bearings pre-pressed and a universal tool which allows for easy removal and addition of your new wheels.  It is very simple to do!  Please email contact us for more information.
