I’m not sure what happened but I think depending on the yo-yo you may just need to swap the axle as long as it is size c it should fit if the gap can support it . Only problem I could see would be the weight ---

So what happened was my bearing seat was too low and my tool couldnt get it out and i had to “get it out” ---

You just wedge it our with a bearing removal tool or some other dowel? Some pliers or what did you do to actually get it out? ---

This photo is deceiving. Doesn’t the bearing look huge, like a car front wheel hub bearing?? haha. I’m not sure how the height of the bearing post (especially being “low” or short) would affect the ability/inability to remove the bearing. Instead, I would be willing to bet that the inner diameter (ID) of the bearing was too small. Lesson learned, Noah… If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! 🙂 ---

Use the opposite smooth end of a 1/4" drill bit next time. The pliers were not good. ---

It sounded like the bearing seat was somehow deep enough the slim bearing was pretty much flush with it or something? I’m not sure how possible that would be if it could accept a normal C bearing with a useable gap. Either way fun story/lesson in hindsight since it sounds like the yoyo is ok. ---
