so I bought my Draupnir. And it came. And I played it for 2 hours, and the bearing was acing funny, and I tried all the methods and after another hour- still responsive. So I’m gonna put a new bearing in it. But I can’t get the stock one out and I do t have a tool, what should I use??? ---

A pair of pliers, a bearing removal tool, or even a drill bit will work to get if out. Then clean the bearing real good (search the forums for how to properly clean a bearing), and you’ll be good to go. :wink: Good luck! ---

I… Just… Bro, do you even multitool? Sorry. I just don’t understand why people don’t buy at least one of them to have on hand. They’re only like $3.50. If you have the money to buy a Draupnir, there is no excuse to not have at least one YYF multitool. Everybody should have a multitool, even if their most expensive throw is a YYJ classic. You can try all the other suggestions you want… 1/4" drill bit, pliers with something to protect the bearing etc… But at the soonest convenience, just do yourself a favor and pick up a multitool. I’d even go as far to suggest setting your Draupnir aside and don’t even try to remove the bearing until you have the multitool. The drill bit will work in a pinch, but pliers are just too prone to damaging the bearing or throw itself. ---

So I’m gonna put a new bearing in it. But I can’t get the stock one out and I do t have a tool, what should I use??? Quite frankly, I’m curious about “all the methods” you tried since most things I’m aware to work on a responsive bearing require removing it in the first place. A 1/4" drill bit (butt end) will work just fine. It’s the same as a YYF multi-tool for your purposes.
