I have moved on from my YYF Velocity, but I was trying to fix it up for some other people to use. I got some thin lube from YoYo Jam but I wasn’t sure how to put it onto the bearing since it has those brass ends on it. I tried dripping some lube on there and rolling it around but that didn’t really help. Do I need to take those ends off? ---

those are spacers that normally stay in the yoyo. Here’s a tutorial to remove them.

Here’s a tut to help with that as well.

I hope they work the same for ya too :wink: ---

Use a plier or something similar to pry the spacers apart from the bearing. Then take the bearing shields off. Then, you shouldn’t put a whole drop of lube on the balls. Just dip a pin or needle in the lube and there should be a tiny drop of lube on the needle. You should put 2 needle tip size lube drops on 2 of the balls. Now plug and play. ---
