I wouldn’t order them from yoyoexpert either. Go to a place that sells gauges (the huge hole in your ears earrings) and ask for a size 6g rubber band. They will sometimes giver you them for free. This is the same size as a yyf oring. ---

Start off with one side on the edge of the nub and press down while easing the O ring over the rest of it. ---

There are three parts to the hubstack. Make sure you have separated the bearing, plastic nub and the o ring . Put the bearing on the yoyo post first, then slip on the o ring after that. The plastic nub will go on last and it fits tight. Sometimes when you pull off the stack it comes off in one piece. Also you can buy the o rings in a hardware store. Check the plumbing section. Lots of small rubber rings to choose from. Cheap too! ---
