SKATEBOARD Bearings in a KICK PEDAL?

My first video tutorial!

I absolutely love my set of Tama Speed Cobra double pedals but lately they just haven't been themselves. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that there was some sort of obstruction preventing the slave side of the center shaft from moving smoothly inside the master side. When I pulled the pedal assembly apart to see what was going on, I discovered 2 completely shattered bearings and 1 other one on its way out.

After some research, I found out that skateboard wheel bearings are the same size as the bearings that a lot of popular hardware companies (Tama, Pearl etc.) use in their kick pedals so I went down to my local skate supply store and picked up a set.

This video documents my clumsy way through restoring this wonderful set of pedals to their former glory.
