Try getting a magnifying glass so you can better see the clips and try using a different tool to remove them. Sometimes I use a needle, other times a thumb tack, and occasionally I even use an x-acto knife. Always use caution when using sharp pointy objects…OUCH! ;D ---

Are you using friction stickers or silicone stickers? One silicone sticker and a bearing cleaning does it for me. I also always end up cleaning my A bearings with the shields on. Those things are tough to remove. ---

The friction stickers are just that- stickers that add friction to the yo-yo and generally make it responsive. Silicone stickers are smoother, giving you a longer spin and reducing response. ---
