I did a few searchs and couldn’t find any anwsers on this…basically I just dyed my yoyo and I believe that the oil grease…stuff, on the axel got washed off so i squieks hecka bad when I screw or unscrew the the yoyo, its not realy a problem I guess its just really annoying…would I be safe spraying some WD 40 in the hole that the axel screws into?

I’d put it on the axle and run it in and out a few times then wipe it off. Or maybe a bit of 3-in-1, same process.
