You have to remove the spacers to remove the bearing. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INyRFN49\_qc](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INyRFN49_qc) ---

You could use pliers VERY CAREFULLY. I used that to get my bearing out of my protostar before i got a multitool. Or the string method, it’s in the list of useful modifications. ---

Good luck. If not mistaken they all have spacers if not I would love a picture. ---

> [@Yonut](#): > > You throw it against the wall VERY hard. Yonut that is bad advice! Don’t try to make him break his yoyo! We are here to help people. Not to give bad advice! Take the spacers out if their attached to the bearing if not use plyers, or a bearing removal tool! 😃 😃 ---

Wedge something (carefully) in between the bearing and the spacers. Guitar picks work well. Think plastic not metal or you will damage the spacers.
