Some yo-yos, like the YoYoFactory Grind Machine<\/a> and 888<\/a> come loaded with hubstacks or z-stacks. This page is to show you how to remove those parts, if the occasion arises.<\/p>\n

You’ll need a tool to remove the stacks. A set of pliers will do. If you’re working with Z-stacks, You’ll be using a string instead of the pliers. You’ll also need some tissue and a pencil.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nLet’s do it!<\/strong>
\n <\/p>\n

0. Cover the hubstack with a tissue and grasp it with the pliers<\/h2>\n

The tissue helps protect the stacks, you’ll want to use 3 or 4 sheets. If you’re removing Z-stacks, you don’t need tissue.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis is what it looks like without tissue, for illustrative purposes only<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Rock the hubstack free<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nJust like removing a yo-yo’s bearing, grasp the bearings and rock them gently<\/em> until they come free.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAlternately, if you can fit a string under the stack, you can use a string to remove it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nUsing a string to remove a Z-stack. Be careful not to pull too hard, or you might send small parts flying everywhere!<\/p>\n

2. Removing the O-ring and bearing<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nUse the tweezers to remove the o-ring, and the bearing should be removable by hand.<\/p>\n

3. If the bearing is stuck to the hubstack, use a pen or bearing remover to separate them<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nYou don’t really need to store these parts separately unless you want to, but be careful with small parts.<\/p>\n

4. Replacing the stacks<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nTo put the stacks back on, the order should be Bearing -> O-ring -> Stack. Just pop them back on and check to make sure they’re spinning properly.<\/p>\n
