Oldedges sent a Bolt to me to be hubstacked. I wanted to leave as much ‘Doc Pop’ in the yoyo as possible, so instead of gutting it and building a new bearing seat with the hubstack, I decided to machine the nipple on the hub down to the brass spacer ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/8/e/28e8d7582fbc0dff222bebd989bef26b6ae5e524.jpeg) Before ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/6/6/566b0eb74174f31cd78d4dba7b42a665eb29c130.jpeg) After I then machined a piece of 3/8" aluminum rod down and tapped it to accept a 6-32 axle [](https://i70.photobucket.com/czM6Ly9wYi1kZXYtcGhvdG9zLXVzLWVhc3QtMS9pbWFnZXMvdGVz/albums/i120/Ricerocket00/Yo-Yos/IMAG0195.jpghttp:/i70.photobucket.com/albums/i120/Ricerocket00/Yo-Yos/IMAG0196.jpg) Which I threaded into the yoyo ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/8/9/2890514ba297e06e980df4cf6fc5fbf751fe9b73.jpeg) After setting up on the lathe and machining, voila!

Did you glue the posts onto the yo-yo or are they only held on by the axle? ---

That’s sweet man! I love my bolt, but it plays a little light for me. I bet those stacks add a perfect amount of weight to it. ---
