Hey guys, last month I got the Deviant (B grade) and decided I needed to clean the bearing. I noticed the axle was loose so I screwed it back on like I would with any of my previous old yo-yos. Later I noticed this bump. I assumed I tightened the axle too much. Anyone else have this happened? How much will it affect my yo-yo?

I’ve had this happen when over-tightening a yoyo (once, on purpose). The yoyo still played fine, it just looks a bit weird on that side. If your yoyo still plays normally I wouldn’t worry about it.
