Is it light silver or more black?
And I didn’t screw it on too tight at all
I’m not sure you’re really open to getting help. You seem to not to take people’s advice and tips or else you wouldn’t keep asking the same questions over and over here and on Reddit. Plus it frustrates me that you don’t seem to learn from the past with breaking your yo-yos.
I’m not usually so critical, but I am frustrated.
Light silver
You probably didn’t screw it back together tight enough. You want to finger tighten it as tight as you can, unless you have strong hands, then you need to be a bit careful. If you over-tighten it you will strip it. The range isn’t so small that you need a torque wrench, just common sense.

So is my yoyo fine it was only a tiny bit of dust and it still works perfectly no vibe or weird sound or anything
Maybe I’m the only one getting a bit flustered here.
I don’t know why I’m being so grumpy. /sigh I know he’s just learning and we all go through our own learning periods. I really need to get off my high horse.
Nah I totally understand it’s fine I’m just low key oblivious to everything
Should be fine if it doesn’t effect play!![]()
And how should I avoid making the same mistake how do I tighten everything correctly
He’s claimed that he’s broken 3 yo-yos in the past by over tightening them. So being careful is some good advice here.
No, you’re not, and I don’t believe you have a high horse. Maybe a low horse. But I say stay on it, it’s about right.
It is important to be careful when putting the yoyo back together. Aluminum (yoyo body and threads) is softer than steel (axle). If you don’t properly line up the axle threads and the threads on the yoyo, the axle will cut the yoyo and strip the threads. It can be fixed, but, is easier to prevent than fix. You also don’t need to show off how strong you are when screwing the yoyo back together. Snug is tight enough. When screwing things together, you should be able to easily twist the axle with just your fingers. If turning the axle is hard, something isn’t right.
How do I line the threads up sounds extremely confusing

Haven’t you received answers on this already through threads here and on Reddit?
Okay, I give up. I need to leave this thread >.<’
Just don’t worry about it too much. Make sure the half’s are parallel.
