Hey y’all, I’m having some trouble taking out he spacers on my flight. They seem to be stuck into the bearing and I can’t remove them. I’ve tried the pin method that yyf tells you to do but it doesn’t seem to be working. Any advice?

Try a small knife you don’t care about damaging. Put the assembly on a flat surface and press the edge of the knife into the slot. Work your way around the edge. A small jewelers screw driver will work too.

I have this same problem with one of my Duncan Mod Z’s. The first one I bought was perfect, the second one the spacers are super tight.

Use the axel to wiggle them off from the inside.
