Okay, I got my Die-Nasty 2 days ago and was very pleased with it, besides the fact that it is very loud, anyways I used it quite a bit. Then all of the sudden it became very responsive, I checked everything I could and I narrowed it down to one thing, the spacers. I opened up the yoyo and took the first spacer out, then when I tried pull the bearing out it was stuck, so after a while it finally came out, but one problem, the other spacer was stuck to it and I can’t get it out of the bearing…

Any tips?

P.S I’m think this problem originated when my friend over tightened the yoyo.

Much thanks

Don’t blame your friend.&nbsp; The bearings spacer has a very tight tollerance.&nbsp;

[EDIT: ninjaed^^^]

YYF spacers are known to be stuck on the bearing pretty good. You get them off by prying something between the spacer and the bearing. Some people use a tack for this.

Okay I took the spacers off and checked for obstructions and put them back and my Die-Nasty is still very loud and very responsive… any sugestions?

Try cleaning and lubing the bearing.

Alright, I’ll give it a shot, I just didn’t think I’d need to after 2 days of play, I never cleaned my DM bearing until last week and I had had it about 2 years

I’ve had the same problem with over responsive bearings, just clean it, mine had something stuck in it apparently, no problems anymore. The spacers on my glow-nasty were BEYOND stuck, I tried literally a couple hours with push pins, etc. I eventually put the bearing on a larger axle with the spacer above it, and pried it off with a knife. The axle was larger than the hole in the space, yet smaller than the hole in the bearing. I’m glad you didn’t have this bad of a problem…
