I’m hoping to remove the caps on a Replay Pro without damage and replace them. Suction cup? Any other ways? Not sure the axle is removable from one half so pushing doesn’t appear to be an option. ---

If you only care about avoiding damage to the yoyo, and don’t mind destroying the caps, then you could use a dremel to cut the caps almost in half, and then use pliers to pry them out. This is how I removed caps from a Sage. ---

I don’t want to damage the caps! I’m trying to swap caps between two Replay Pros. ---

You’ll need to sacrifice the response pads but it seems straightforward otherwise. > [@Yyf Plastic replay pro mods?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yyf-plastic-replay-pro-mods/81046/8): > > There’s little holes under the response pads on the Replay Pro. If you remove the pads you can poke out the caps with a tooth pick or something without damaging them. ---

If u gently lift up the response pads, there will be holes leading directly to the caps. If you take a small object, such as a 1 or 1.5mm Allen key, you would be able to push the caps out through the holes. ---

The correct answer is leave the caps in. They’re not designed to be removed. I’m not being sarcastic BTW. ---

Do you think it will affect anything? I’m just trying to make my optimal RP from three that each have some issue.
