Guns? How uncivilized. Detonation cord, C4 or shaped charges. Let’s not be primitive about this, OK? ---

> [@nardcopter](#): > > Bearing is out!!! How can I preven this from happening again? Take a piece of 300 grit wet/dry paper and fold it over the bearing seat. Grab the other side together with your thumb and forefinger. Spin the yoyo in the paper a few times around. Check fit, spin again as needed. In this case use the paper dry. ---

Thank you so much, will try later. Should I get it soda blasted and anoed before I try this, or should I do this first? ---

I just kept pulling as I watched TV. Cool. Glad it all worked out! I’d follow what JHB said to make sure it doesn’t happen again! :0) ---

Yoyo is fully functional and bearings come in and out with a pull! Thank you all for the help! My favorite yoyo is working again!!! I’m gonna have Mullicabob soda blast it and then get it a sweet ano job! Can’t wait! [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/bearing-stuck-beyond-my-ability/54202.md?page=1)
