Ok, so I have a mosquito that I rim satined, then glued a dif pad on, because I kept falling off. So to the subject. I can’t open up my mosquito. The axle isn’t stripped or anything,its just the hex key isn’t connected to the plastic, so It is just spinning around. Any way I can fix this? I never really touched it or anything… ---

Try pulling the two halves away from each other when you turn them. ---

yes, the post above me probably has it. You see, misquitos have a faulty screw system, where if you push the axle in even a little bit, the unglued rubber case inside the yoyo that keeps the hex nut in may come out. That is why I glue those rubber stoppers down. ---

Yeah, Mcrnja, I can’t do that, I have tryed it a million times. I really want to open it, so I can put some rubber stoppers on like King825. ---

That is why I glue those rubber stoppers down. It’s not faulty. They have been using this system for years. MOSQUITO, SQUIRREL, FH2, FHZ… AND MORE. ARE THEY ALL FLAWED? nope. I believe this to be user error. I’ve done to so don’t feel bad. Also those little rubber things won’t fix that. ---

no need to apologize. the only thing I can currently think of is drilling a hole in the center if the cap and pouring epoxy into the hex nut cavity and letting it cure. Unless its the nut side. then I don’t know. ---

Could the epoxy be… mighty putty? I have a crap load of that stuff. The caps would be irreplaceable, unless I bought another one. ---

epoxy is a gel liquid. thats why i said pour it. mighty putty may work but you will need to destroy the cap.
