On the 66% line of mini yo-yos specifically, anyone know how to remove the shield on the bearing (NSK Micro, Size A) because I cannot see where the retaining clip is for these bearings; no noticeable gap anywhere as far as I can tell.

I have other several other A-size bearing yoyos; they have a clip that is both visible (albeit small) and removable with a sewing needle, but for this particular line, the shields look to be permanently sealed which makes cleaning them nigh impossible. Anyone have experience with these?

I just checked mine now also and can’t seem to see any visible clip. Im intrested to hear also if these can be removed and how. But you may can just clean it fine with the shield on. I used the lighter fluid method the other day and cleaned one with the shield on and it worked fine. But it was not the 66% bearings.
