my valor 10 ball bearing is stuck in the bearing seat and will not come out. when i spin it it makes a weird sound that i’ve never heard before. on top of that it is becoming increasingly responsive. i think removing the bearing could solve all of this, if anyone know a way please let me know.

There’s at least 2 topics posted on page 1 of this section, as well as numerous examples further down. The answer is the same in all cases.

Just use a pliers.

Then you didn’t try hard enough. You may have to sacrifice the bearing.

Stick it in the freezer for 10 mins sometimes that works.

BTW  
I have a thread that answers questions like this [Answers To Frequently asked questions(With the beginner yoyo player in mind) - Looking for Help/Recommendation - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,73684.0.html)

Hope that helps.
