What’s a “K size” bearing? What yoyo did it come out of? Sometimes there is no “C” ring and you just have to pry the shield off. ---

K size is a half C. It should just be like a normal bearing. ---

> [@Yoyo](#): > > K size is a half C. It should just be like a normal bearing. I think he means the extra small bearing on YYF’s loop series and the Mighty flea, YYE refers to them as “K” on the store. I clean my mighty flea just no shields, and let it seep a bit longer to really clean it. ---

I’m pretty sure it says K-sized bearing on the Firestorm packaging. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/2/7/22764a1d733cf2d64023a67a2312483ed75b8a79.png) ---

> [@Yoyo](#): > > I’m pretty sure it says K-sized bearing on the Firestorm packaging. Nope - it says “N Bearing” The mighty flea bearing is referred to as a Spec XS on the store site, also used on the Loop 900/1080. ---

Oops, well sorry for the misinformation, but it should still have c-clips. ---

actually they do have C clips and sheilds you can take off to clean. I’ve done it.
