K so how do I change to the responsive kit? I don't want to force it but I can't seem to remove the responsive bearing with my bare fingers.
edit: Okay I figured out that I needed to use a bearing removal tool, an Allen wrench worked fine. Now that I'm trying the responsive bearing, though, I'm not sure it's the right size. There's a definite gap to one side of the bearing and I don't think I can force it tighter closed, though I can try if that's the solution. Did you send me the wrong size bearing or do I just not understand how to do this?
Aldreneanyea I'm an idiot i just broke the axle, don't tighten it down too much
Edit: don't berate me I'm not a yo yo expert. I do happen to work at a machine shop so Im gonna stick it in the lathe tomorrow and drill it out.
kohit7Yeah I really don't think this responsive axle is the right one. I overtightened mine a bit before giving up and I didn't break anything but there is a tiny bulge in the exterior of one side. Kind of miffed that there were no instructions offered and apparently the wrong hardware was supplied.
That said, now that I've actually started using the unresponsive bearing it's pretty awesome. It is quite loud, but I've already ordered lube which should hopefully fix that.
