I got it! I unscrewed mine, took the bearing out, took both SPR’s out with a pair of pliers, took out the o-rings, and took and old toothbrush and vigorously scrubbed all the crud out of the seat and whatnot, and then scrubbed the axle. I put it all back together tightly, unscrewed it, and put it back together again, and it played smooth! ---

No one has actually posted how to tune a yo-yo in this thread yet. Previous statements such as replacing the o-rings or cleaning behind the bearing seat are good things to do, but they aren’t true tuning. [This](http://www.yoyonation.com/talk/index.php/topic,43172.0.html) is the proper way to tune a yo-yo with a set screw axle (such as YoYoJam’s and Milks). ---
