Yoyo Post Modification; Can be used to Lower Posts on any yoyo.
For this project I used the Duncan Bumblebee. After playing with Mr. Steves Bumblebee, it was time.
Disassemble the yoyo, remove the Axel and bearing.
I picked up some 4mm “Grub” screws that are the same diameter and thread as the axels. I screwed them into the post to the depth of material I wanted to remove. Note: It doesnt take much.
I used masking tape to protect the yoyo halfs from potential damage.
Using a fine hand file, I gently removed the post material until the file touched the grub screw. Aluminum is a lot softer than the screw steel. The top of the screw acts as a guide to ensure that the post is square.
Remove the masking tape and the screw. You have a clean and shaved down post.
For this project, I am finishing it up with Permatex Grey Response.
Total Modification time: 10-15 minutes.
Have Fun
