if ur not afraid about just not lubing the bearing, or not upgrading it, just super glue it to the side, without taking the axle out ---

When a yoyo is hard to unscrew - and I’ve had the problem before - I put it in the freezer for 10 minutes. This works! You will be able to take the yoyo apart, remove the axle and bearing and then put it all together. I think this may solve the problem. ---

Yeah but I don’t see how putting it back together again and again will help me. I managed to get the screw off before and I put it back right and it still didn’t work. ---

It sounds like it’s broken. Little shreds of plastic can’t be a good thing. I’m sorry you’re having all these problems.
