KZfaq I thought it was time for a little bearing maintenance tutorial for you guys. The bearing in your yoyo is an essential part that needs to be properly maintained for optimal performance. In this video I show how to clean a bearing as well as how to make your own thin lube to maintain your bearing and keep it spinning perfectly. Everything in this video can be bought at local hardware store. Or you could get it here

@phanx 3 жыл бұрын

Of course! Throw ALL the bearings that you want to clean together into one container with enough of whatever solvent you decide to use. I make sure to use enough solvent so that all the bearings are submerged.. Instead of using a shot glass like Dylan used in the video, I like to use a container that has a lid so I can shake the shit out of it to make sure that all the bearings are 100% clean.

@mbb2725 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the content. It's informative and your personal additions are good remarks. I do have some questions: 1. Why do we use thin lube (or any dissolved lube) in oppose to just pure lube? 2. Why do we have to apply the thin lube in very minimal manner (by using a pin as shown) instead of just soaking the whole bearing with lube?

@DylanKowalski123 3 жыл бұрын

Because your yoyo will become responsive if lube is too thick. And you don't put alot cause then it gets all over your string and ruins it. It also makes everything gunk up. Alot of people run their bearings totally dry

I put “unresponsive lube” (from yo-yo tricks dot com), the yo-yo 🪀 stopped sleeping so much and became responsive! I Used girlfriends nail polish remover (100% acetone) pencil and air compressors! And A tiny drop of “responsive lube” air compressor again set bearing on piece paper... Whooo hoo crazy it’s working again. Thx

Some thing to add maybe, how often should we maintain / clean our bearings? I know this is variable and comes down to how often you play, is it very dusty or do you have pet hairs flying around etc. but I heard some people do this every couple of days and it seemed a bit excessive to me.

After spending about 15 minutes trying to deshield my bearing, I realized I was pushing on the wrong side of the C-clip. On one side of the opening there's a squared off end to the clip; at the other, it's at an angle and looks like it's pushing into the outer ring of the bearing. You want to slide the pin under the latter. Maybe I'm an idiot, but hopefully this helps someone else.
