I’m having trouble getting the shields off my one drop 10 ball so are there any tips on getting them out?

Sharper, thinner needle, and somehow manage to grip the shield a bit so that and the C-clip won’t move.

Also try going after the other side of the C-clip. It might go easier that way.

This. I make a habit of using the same needle every time I deshield a bearing (I just keep the needle in my case, for ease of access), but every once in a while I have to replace the needle because they get dull and they are no longer effective. You want the needle to be as sharp as possible. 🙂

As studio mentioned, if one side of the clip refuses to come out, rotate and try to pry the other end of the c clip, with the needle of course.
