But since it’s stuck where the bearing is it is kind of impossible

Again, try harder and use the suggestions above. This is not an unsolvable issue.

Work on the bearing first. That is key here. Use the suggestions given - tape, cloth, pliers etc. It will come off.

This is a $20 yoyo, don’t loose too much sleep over it.

I’m not real sure what else can really be said here…you may not like the suggestions given, but I really do think if you try them you can get your bearing and axle out.

It shouldn’t really matter. Just give it a good wiggle and it should pop off. Make sure you’re holding as far back on the handles as possible to get the most leverage.

if you have one, try a bearing remover. if you want, you could get a YYF Multi-Tool. they have a few accessories that are very very useful.

Suspicious? Just ask your parent’s for help if you can’t get it, that’s what parents do.

Obviously he doesn’t have either. The drill bit and the YYF bearing remover are basically the same approach and have been recommended previously. He just said he’s using a multi tool after having said he doesn’t have a pliers. Sorry to be skeptical but this whole topic is starting to ring a bit sketchy…
