for some reason my hitman pro won’t unscrew, I don’t know how to take off the caps, when I turn the halves they sort of ratchet but don’t come apart, what do I do?
I don’t think removing the caps is really going to help all that much.
I haven’t really taken a good look inside my DM2, but I would think that if there is some sort of ratchet type sound, that the axle system has broken and chances are the yoyo is beyond salvation. Well, maybe with some epoxy, but we’re not looking at a fix that will truly be other than a temporary patch at best.
I think you may have screwed it down too tight in the first place and/or it took one heck of a gigantic pop.
I did take a cap off once when I put some electrical tape on it, but I put the tape on it to track sides and spin direction. It was brief and I like how it looks better “caps in” anyways.
But, thanks for the shot. I bet all the Solid Spin Axles are like this, so it’s good reference material and is valid to this message thread.
Yes you probably overtightened it and screwed it in slightly crooked at the same time. Send it back to the manufacturer after you call/email them and they tell you to. They might send you a free one.
It sounds like you separated the solid spin from actual yoyo by over tightening. What you want to do is either remove the caps, and apply a little bit of crazy glue in between the metal and the plastic on oth sides or contact yoyojam if you’ve had the yoyo for less then 30 days.
Just contact YYE if you bought it here. Contact the store you bought it at if not. You can contact YYJ but it’s better to go through the chain of purchase.
