I’m almost certain you’ll need to replace them. I’d pull them before dying the yo-yo, then replace them with clear pads or sili, which will look really nice. ---

> [@PCaliyoyos](#): > > @YoYoExpertGarrett are the caps removable? Just like with the bolt - They aren’t deigned to be removable… but they can be. Take the Replay apart. Place it on a flat surface with the bolt sticking up. tap it a few times until the bolt and cap break free: ![IMG_1364](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/9/b/f9b30544455d87b849124ecc3279dc89dfa3aaee.jpeg) ![IMG_1365](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/1/b/11bc5d0aa4480d10de01efb13d747ac4e342abf7.jpeg) ![IMG_1366](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/c/a/6ca9918b6438e2e79bb3e42d4b2c2eb61f36cf09.jpeg) Once the bolt is loose, screw it into the other half and repeat. There is only glue on the bolt side so this second one should be easier just to remove the cap. ![IMG_1367](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/1/4/8145a3ad345a3f19ae7a83d5bedb6ac8b6410086.jpeg) ![IMG_1368](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/2/f/72f9839dc0acc3a13df1e3c071b6331ba1926dbf.jpeg) ![IMG_1369](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/6/e/36ea84c7a153735dbc4ebbe296841a61327a2f07.jpeg) NOTE: Using my “hit it with a hammer” method can damage your yo-yo and I take zero responsibility if something goes wrong.

There are no threads in the plastic. The bolt threads into a small nut, which is not affected. ---
