I have one of the white Onestar yoyos that were available at BAC. I really like it but I don’t really like the look of the caps. I have never been a big fan of them in general on yoyos. Is there a good way to remove them? I’ve tried taking them off with a suction cup but it doesn’t work. I can normally use this method for my yoyojams just fine but it just doesn’t work with this throw. Any advice? ---

It depends, do you want to keep the caps? If so then its going to be hard. ---

Slam the axle half down on a table, then screw the axle into the other half and repeat. ---

> [@yoyospirit](#): > > Slam the axle half down on a table, then screw the axle into the other half and repeat. not sure if you should do this… the caps may not be removable… i tried that once with some old yoyo i had and it just blew through the cap and it didn’t come out, leaving a huge hole instead. ---

It’ll work, the One Star uses the nut and bolt set up, like the FHZ. ---

Then, Without caps the Bolt will not stay in, it will fall out and be hard to screw in. ---

You know you can put the caps back in, right? ---
