I took my DV888 apart then screwed it back together and it didnt screw in all the way so I took apart again. I looked at the axle and it is crooked. I tried to unscrew the axle GENTLY but it didnt come out. Now the axle is stuck in half of the DV888 and the other side wont screw in all the way.
Yeah. Not sure how you bent it but theres really no good way to get it back and even if you got it close, a little bit of a difference can really mess it up, so you’ll want to get a new one. If you don’t live near a yoyo store and have to order a new axle online, you can get some string or lube or a bearing or something else so that you don’t waste all that money on shipping.
You dont need to get a new axle. This has happened to me, just get some pliers and lightly screw it out. Try to pop it back in place before unscrewing. After you take it out, carefully screw it back normally, and slowly.
Glad you got it fixed, but in case anyone else has a similar problem: wrap the axle with something like the end of a dish towel (just the edge, one layer thick), and then grab with pliers - so you’ll have less chance of crushing the threads on the axle.
