-Lexi,
You could just say the wheel was dragging, and you needed to loosen the nut. I can't really think of any circumstance where you would need to actually try to apply grease/oil to the bearing as the are sealed so as not to be exposed to dust particles, plus I'm not sure you could even get to the bearings as the "rubber/plastic" completely covers everything except the inside part of the housing.As such I can't think of anyway you would need to introduce oil or grease into the process. I point this out for you spend some amount of detail on:
"clean away what you can,
the rest'll smear across your forehead when you
wipe your face with your hands."
I don't know if you are attempting to use that metaphorically or not. There might be other ways to introduce oil/grease without the need for it coming from your skate board, it could simply be somewhere where you put your hand, like going through the parking lot of a closed auto repair place. I'm thinking for the "repair" you could tear one of the bolts that holds the truck on through the board (that is it get pulled through) because all of the nuts on the truck were loose. If you had a Leather-man's type of tool on you, you would be able to tighten them up, but with only three left it would be a temporary fix. I'm not sure how likely that is to happen, but at least the repair would be realistic, and still be temporary. Sorry, best I can do.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
