First, if have a yoyojam yoyo that is very responsive and you want it unresponsive, clean and lube the bearing. Use yoyojam thin lube for it to be unresponsive. Thick lube for responsive. [How to Clean Your YoYo Bearing - Yo-Yo Mods and Maintenance - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,871.0.html) This is a great ball bearing guide. If it isn’t unresponsive enough, silicone it. Use these kinds of silicone. For oring response types.

Flowable self-concaves.

You need these pliers [http://www.photostringer.com/images/needle\_nose\_pliers.jpg](http://www.photostringer.com/images/needle_nose_pliers.jpg) Here is a video: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/8/e/98e813e2f0ee6e5667e9714b7f13c942327469b4.jpeg "Severe Bearing Removal") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS_K-98jX0w) This will work with any stuck bearing. This guide will work with not just yoyojams, but with any factory. The silicone requires a groove. I did not make the videos, so I don’t deserve credit for the videos. This is just a guide to help beginners. ---

You have pressure RTV Gasket down and then scope some out with the tip of a spoon. For Flowable all you have to do is fill the groove and take the access silicone away with the side of a credit card. The silicone fills the air bubbles and falls in. ---

And actually you don’t want to “concave” with the RTV silicone. Once you put the RTV in, you want to take a needle or something to get all of the air bubbles out, and then let it cure. Once it’s cured, you can take some of it off with a utility knife or something. It’ll last much much longer if you do it this way. ---

By not spamming. In the bottom left corner of your thread, it says “Move Topic.” Click that and select the board you want it in. ---
