hello yoyoexpert forum people,

i have a problem with my yyf protostar. i screw the yoyo on when there is a snag in it then when i take it apart again, the spacer is stuck. i don’t know how to get it out without getting a new bearing. only one spacer is stuck and i don’t have any other bearings. please help me. i don’t know wat to do. the other day i had to get a plyer and screwdriver and smash it out and then i broke the spacer and i had to get a new one but i wasn’t allowed to get new ones. please help me. please…)':

Does it matter if the spacer is stuck to the bearing?

The same thing happened to my friend’s PGM and it doesnt really affect the play at all… It’s still beast.

Why would you smash the spacer!!! NO!! 😢
