So recently I was trying to silicone my madhouse lucky seven (I bought it off the bst so this is the first time I’ve done it to this particular yoyo) and i noticed the bearing just wouldn’t come out. I tried using the wrench like grabbers that I use to remove my YYJ bearings, but even that didn’t work. Plus I’m worried that if I put too much stress on the bearing it will bend. So, anyone got any advice for removing really stuck bearings?

You will need to go get a metal rod, from the hardware store.&nbsp; Or if you, or someone you know has drill bits you can use the non sharpend end of the drill bit.&nbsp;
