I have a new protostar and its starting to snag some when I do tricks like skin the gerbil and trapeze brother whip (its the best name I can think of).I think I might need to clean my bearing but the spacers are stuck to both sides of the bearing.  
What should I do.

You can use a needle or pliers to get the spacers off if you want to clean it.

Sounds to me like you just need to be more smooth.

You also might want to check the response and if you use a new string it will tend to snag more.
