Have you tried putting it in the freezer?

Only for 30 mins but still wont budge do i ned to put it lnger?

I use the base of a 1/4" drill bit to get mine out.

So do i ned to put in freezer longer ??? Cuz only the bearing seat is left and tough to take it out :cry:

Is the bearing in or out? If you mangled the bearing seat, that the bearing physically sits in, you canā€™t take it out.

I donā€™t know whatā€™s going on with your yoyo in general (I feel Iā€™m missing a detail or two), but longer in the freezer is NOT more helpful.

What you want is to try it at around 15 minutes or so. Freezers are all different and this is barely a ballpark science, never mind an exact science, but-- the idea is that both metals contract at different rates. If you leave it too long, itā€™ll ā€œeven outā€ so to speak. You want to get it while the aluminum has contracted and the steel of the bearing hasnā€™t fully contracted yet.

the bearing is in just that is destroyed the part of the bearing which holds the bearing seat is still stuck ik is kinda confusing to put it like this :s

Edit: the bearing is destroyed only the inner race is still there and is stubbron to get out any suggestions?

Edit 2:ill try using a 1/4 drill bit first hopefully it can come out

Im proud to say i finally got it out by putting in freezer thanks to all who gave suggestions i appreciate it

Not sure you know what the bearing seat is. Post a picture so weā€™re all on the same page.

I think he means the inside of the bearing

Given this is pretty much a high-end Japanese yo-yos thread at this point, anyone seen the SY-001 Stealth Ogre MK-II? Thoughts?

What happens when a gold or platinum bearing wears out? Does it stop spinning or is it just not as smooth? Because Iā€™ve never worn a bearing out and I was thinking of buying one

It will continue to spin but not as long. Performance will generally be better than a normal bearing still

Ok, and will it be louder as well?

So has anyone pulled the trigger on any of the Rebellion line yet? Would be interested on hearing some opinions from the YYR connoisseurs on here. :slight_smile:

Matte gunmetal Draupnirs available.

Theyā€™re all sold out

Iā€™m surprised I havenā€™t heard anything about these yoyos yet. If nobody buys one and gives some opinions on it then Iā€™ll have to!

I have not bought one because I have the OG versions in my bag. Why would I want one of those? I bet the new version of the Gleipnir will be great if/when it comes out though.

I dont know but there are store reference rules
