I need the caps off of my go big. I already tried a suction cup, and don’t want to hurt the cap. ---

Put a small amount of hot glue in the center of the cap and wait 4 min. Then use pliers and pull the glob of hot glue. Put the cap in the freezer and pull off the hot glue to remove the hot glue. ---

Are the caps being removed so you can IRG or something? I can’t understand otherwise why the rings would need to be removed. ---

duct tape suction cup keep tryin’ till it works. if you don’t mind damaging the cap a little, you can take the smallest drill bit you have and drill a small hole, then stick something in to pop it out. ---

There needs to be more people like you on this forums!! It takes all kinds to build a solid community. We need the helpful and the non-helpful. I’m planning a purchase here. I’m debating adding a Go Big. I have an Aquarius, Big Yo and a Fiesta XX, so it’s not like I really need it. I also was re-watching the Ben Conde videos and he’s doing his thumb grinds with the caps in. Because of that, I see no real need to take the caps out. Now, the DM2, I could understand. I have that and I like the caps in, but I don’t do grinds yet so it’s not a big deal leaving the caps in. So I still wonder why the OP wants the caps out unless that’s just the way he likes things. I like caps. I figure if they didn’t want you to have the caps, they’d not include them with the yoyo. But hey that’s just me. ---

First Ben does thumb grinds both ways. If you watch his live routine he has the caps off. I was having a hard time learning thumb grind with the go big and having a hard time till I took the caps off. It does look better with them on though. I got mine out by pushing down in the middle of the cap this makes a gap around the edge. Next pry up the cap with a butter knife. No damage and pretty easy.
