i won a blood brother yoyo from totalartists contests, and it was awesome! i unscrewed it a couple times to test which bearing i should use for it. now it doesnt screw together anymore! i know it isnt fully stripped, because it screws together without a bearing. im assuming its partially stipped, beacause it doesnt screw togeth WITH the bearing. im not sure what the problem is. help me! i MIGHT be able to post pics and even a video if my friends cool with be borrowing his stuff. THANKS!
I took it apart and put it back together in the Youtube video posted, no problems. I’m trying to grasp the problem fully, is it this?
If so, I can send you the stuff he recommends, or send the funds for you to get it, if you think that will solve the problem. Not sure I understand the concept of stripped fully. Are the axle threads stripped, the threads in the yo-yo, or both?
This isn’t sounding like it came from you with a problem as he’d opened it up a few times before. I think he stripped the threads by accident.
I recommend contacting Landon Balk. He’s the only place I would go to in order to get this taken care of. I also think that it’s excessively generous that the seller is willing to be out of pocket to correct this issue.
thank you all for the offers, but yoyospirit, will a longer axle fix things does it fit?and yes guys, landon balk is awsome, he fixed my skyline before. also before it wouldnt screw together, there was a curled metal wire stuck to the axle, which i removed, and the thread in the yoyo is partially removed i think. the axle is intact. ;D
I would recommend instead using either Krazy Glue or JB Weld for a stripped half. JB Weld is much stronger. If you want the longer axle, put a dab of either glue/epoxy on the axle, then screw the axle into the stripped hole, for extra strength, make sure the axle is very tightly held in by using a pair of pliers. For JB Weld, wait over night of the epoxy to dry, or for Krazy Glue, you can use it immediately.
Yoyospirit, did you get a chance to diagnose it via PMs? Was the half damaged, or the axle? Just curious. This lock tite stuff seems to recreate the threads, and allow it to screw in where it should, without gluing the axle in. The axle could still be removed with this stuff. Seems like a neat product.
