Well, I have an Alpha Crash in front of me, and I can’t get the bearing out.
Drill bit method? The axles stuck. Is it possible to remove it?
String method? Dang spacers!
Pliers method? Nope.
Freezer method? Dang plastic!
So, yeah… Help?

It sounds like you need a bearing removal tool with a hollowed-out center to avoid the axle.

Is it possible to remove an Alpha Crash’s axle?

Never mind. I got the pliers to work. I just had to rock the yoyo.
