Why It Matters

Front caster bearings are constantly exposed to dirt, moisture, hair and debris and can become rough or worn over time. Regular bearing maintenance helps keep your wheelchair rolling faster, smoother and with less effort. Using the correct tools makes bearing replacement easier, reduces the risk of damaging expensive caster wheels and helps ensure new bearings are installed correctly.
