Both axles are on the other yoyo now. so i reversed it and 1 OF THE axles came b ack to the 888 i dont know if its the axle for 888 but guess what. MY AXLE WENT INTO THE HUBSTACK. So like The axle is stuck between the bearing seat and outside of the 888 PS : I did not have hubstacks on it so its just stuck on both sides of the 888 I dont want to pay for a new one , or pay to fix it is their a way?

The axle is a setscrew. This means it has a hole on one side for a hex wrench/allen key. The other side is a rounded end. Find the end with the hole and use the hex wrench to unscrew it. ---
