So about 2 or 3 years ago I bought a yoyo jam X-convict, and am looking to do something about the O-ring response. Will the yyj new silicone pad things fit, or will I have to silicone it manually? Thank you for your time!

The new sili pads will fit, but flowable works great too.

Thank you very much! Now I just need to free the bearing from its death grip

If you mail that yoyo to me, you won’t have to worry about any of that stuff. 🙂

Be gentle. Use a bearing puller or pliers and be patient

In a serious note, do be gentle like the man says. I have several old YYJs I absolutely love. I make it a point to remove the bearing as little as possible. That plastic it sits on can be easily broken if you are too rough.
