How do you lube a yoyo that has spacers? There’s no way to put the lube INTO the bearing itself. Any suggestions? Thanks!!! ;D ;D ;D

Gently pry the spacers off the bearing and then lube it.

I had a counter attack and the axle broke through the front so I tried to atleast get the centertrac out and I had to completely destroy the spacers -\_-
