i have yoyojam dark magic, and i have a problem with it. when i lube it (i use trumpet lube) its doesnt work, and also, the bearing spins for about a half second. the caps that cover the bearing come off, and i bent them by accident ( i figure this wouldn’t affect how the yoyo plays).

WHAT DO I DO??? (IM PANICKING)

If you clean the bearing, that may solve your problem.

If you want to, you can leave the caps off, or, if the case is too extreme, you can buy a new bearing

Leave the bearing shields off, and don’t put any lube in it for a while. If the bearing is used over time with the shields off, it should start to spin longer.
