Title says it all, haven’t been able to find anything that I can safely remove them without messing up the caps. I took the caps out of my DM2 by just banging the screwdriver into them but then I couldn’t re use them because they had holes in them. If possible I’d like to save the caps from my severe 🙂 Any input would be much appreciated 🙂 Also isn’t there a way I can make it grind better? I’m happy received a total of 6 throws today from trades and then the severe from YYE. So many throws to play with but so little time lol Here’s all the stuff I received well just the throws not all the extras ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/7/6/a76e71947672462f76f33170134f64edbfee7998.jpeg) ---

Hmm, can you find a suction cup? One the size of the cap should work to get the cap out. No, unless you want to mod it, I don’t think you can make it grind better… Delrin already grinds fine. 😛 ---

Maybe it’s cause my hand is sweaty idk but I feel like it grinds just about the same as protostar. But could be cause my hands are a tiny bit sweaty right now from excitement haha the mailman came like 20 mins ago so I got to unbox everything and since most were from trades that I had to ship first so I had to wait a while but finally 🙂 and I don’t have any suction cups, ill have to look for one tho, any ideas on maybe wedging something into the side? ---

That’s not the best idea, you might damage the yoyo, or possibly the caps. Do you have a bunch of suction cup Nerf darts? A bunch of those may work. ---

Duct tape, rip a long piece out, stick onto the cap, and quickly rip the cap out of the yoyo. Oh, and nice yoyos you got :wink: And not sure if this works with delrin yoyos, but try sanding it. ---

Grab the yoyo, unscrew the thing and take the side with the axle. Lightly tap the axle onto a flat surface untill the cap pops off. Then take the axle screw it onto the other half and tap the axle head onto a flat surface softly this method works just fine in my experiences with cap yoyos. ---

Make sure you know what your talking about before you post, the severe does not have a bolt axel set up, a regular yoyofactory axel. For grinds try sanding, for caps you can get suction cups at Dollar tree or a local pharmacy(CVS,Walgreens) and try the duct tape method, if you don’t care about em’ take a poker screwdriver and KILL IT! ---
