When i spin the bearing with my finger it sounds funny. What happened and how to fix ? Suprisingly there are no dents or marks. > > > [@YYF Die Nasty Help](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yyf-die-nasty-help/18228/6): > > > > What happened is it probably bent the cage that holds the balls in the bearing. It is allowing the balls to be where they should be sometimes and then one will move and cause it to not spin well. You may need a new bearing. > > From here, it seems like bearings are rather brittle… Show me that dropping the bearing itself from one foot on a table will ruin it, even if the bearing on that dienasty got responsive becuase of the yoyo hitting that chair. The impact of the yoyo hitting something is much more than droping a bearing at a one foot distance. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/how-to-easily-lube-your-bearing-after-washing-it/18241)._
