So I recently got an avant garde 2 (it was new) and I successfully cleaned the bearing. I decided to replace it with a kk bearing, but now the bearing and the axle are on the same side of the yoyo. The axle won’t come out. How can I remove the bearing?

Thanks for the help!

If you’ve used something like the YYF multi tool, get a small tube of the same diameter and use that. The tube will allow you to slip it over the axle. Hardware stores sell a variety of small tubing that will work. Get a steel or brass tube. They come in 1 foot sizes.

Ok. Thanks!
