Has anyone tried to pop the weight rings out of the Legacy? Is it easy? I tried (with little force) with no luck, plus I didn’t want to destroy it :-\ Thanks! ---

I think you need to destroy it. ---

UPDATE! I was able to pop the rings out without hurting the physical integrity OR messing up the surface. If anyone is at all interested I can help out. I intend to paint this and make it purdy. ---

wow,I never thought one could do that,but I would keep them on, without them I think it would be more of a kickside. ---

Well it feels like I’m playing with a bottle cap at the end of a string (extremely light). I only popped them off so I can paint it. Obviously, I only want to paint the body, and nothing else. Hopefully this will be a neat project. I will post pictures if I ever complete it. ---

Once you pop them out it is nearly impossible to get them back in. YoYoJam uses a machine to place them in the yo-yo - so it is not recommended popping them out… ---

What machine? Anyways, unless the machine compresses the weight rings, you can probably do it.
