Bearings will last a very long time if you take proper care of them.

Pads usually last a few weeks of heavy play.

Depends how much you use each yoyo and how sensitive/picky you are about your yoyos. I personally have only had to replace the pads on a few of my yoyos and those have been with me for several years and I don’t think I’ve had a bearing that wasn’t already a dud need to be replaced.

However, this will vary between people. Just replace the pads when the yoyo isn’t snappy enough (or they fall out, that’s what I do) and your bearing when it starts shortening your spin times and a cleaning doesn’t help.
