Hey guys, does anyone know how to remove a spacer stuck on the axle side? And if so how do I remove the axle without stripping it? My yoyo has been playing really snaggy since it got stuck

I once had a yoyo stuck - could not unscrew the halves. It was a metal. I wrapped it in a wash cloth and put it in the freezer for 20 minutes. It was easy to unscrew afterward. Maybe this might help you. I mean, maybe this method would help with the spacer issue.

Maybe plyers to grab it. The cold shrinks things. Hope you get it fixed!
