It’s probably because the bearing seat is tight. Try to remove it with pliers (muscles involved). If not, you could buy a YYF Multi-Tool from the YYE store.

In response to what bearing I recommend, I like the One Drop Ten Ball Bearing.

YYF is notorious for tight seating.  
If your getting a new bearing anyway, use some pliers or the yyf tool.

As for bearing.

I like the dif-e-yo konkave bearing. spins forever and centers the string.

what’s wrong with the bearing that came with the yoyo?

ps I’ve owned many YYF yoyos with a “death grip” bearing seat, my G-Funk was the worst offender by far.
