Axel stuck in yoyo

[Evan_the_yoyo_boy]

I got my Axel stuck in my yoyo. How can I get it out without breaking it?

Sorry, I know the pictures are dark, I have a bad camera on my phone.

Wrap it in a washcloth and put the side in the freezer for 20 minutes. It works. Please notify us if you have success.

How did it get to be in this position?

I was doing 3a, and then I got a knot, and when I unscrewed it the Axel got in this position somehow.

Yeah ouch

[Evan_the_yoyo_boy]

It worked!

Great! Is everything all stripped? Is the yoyo half ruined?

[SuperWideAngle (“Ya’ better believe it!”)]

If so, you can just get a new short axle.

Explain

Thankfully, only part of the Axel was messed up, but I got it screwed back together. When that happened, I almost started crying because my favorite yoyo almost broke.

God is good

I’m happy it worked out for you!
