there are a few ways I know of to do it.
- Plyers. gently rock back and forth
- Bearing removal tool/drill bit/1/4" pipe of any kind. just put the rod on the inner part, rock back and forth until it’s out.
- The string method. I’ll post a video for this one.

Or if you’re really unlucky like I was with my yuuksta and it just won’t come out, send it to yyf if it’s still under warranty.
