How to Oil a Axle (Loop720 etc.)<\/h1>\n

As you use your Yomega looping yo-yo, you’ll notice that it starts to get harder to play with, and begins to make a lot of noise when it spins, and doesn’t respond well any more. Time for some maintenance!<\/p>\n

You’ll need tissue, oil or vaseline (REWIND Looping Oil<\/a>, YYF Looping Oil<\/a>, or sOMEThING LP Lube<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

0. Take the yo-yo apart<\/h2>\n

Make sure not to lose any small parts, and remove the string ahead of time.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

1. If you’re using spacers, remove one side<\/h2>\n

Ignore this step if you don’t use spacers.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Add oil, just a drop or two<\/h2>\n

Smear the oil or vaseline onto the axle itself. It’s ok to get some oil in the bearing, but the important part to lubricate is the axle itself.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Replace the bearing, and wipe off any excess oil<\/h2>\n

You don’t want oil all over you yo-yo; it’s bad for the plastic, and can negatively effect the yo-yo’s response (especially for starburt response yo-yos).
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Reassemble the body, and test it!<\/h2>\n

If you use spacers, don’t forget to set them correctly, or you could damage your yo-yo.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Cleaning your yo-yo<\/h2>\n

One of the side effects of using oil with your yo-yo, is that over time you’ll get a build up of old oil or vaseline in the little cracks here and there. This is bad for your yo-yo for a number of reasons, so let’s wipe it clean every few times we oil the axle, just to keep things in top shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nTo do this, just take the yo-yo apart and wipe the interior with a Q-tip (cotton swab).<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIf there’s a lot of oil on the axle threading, it may cause the yo-yo to come apart during play. Wipe it down with a tissue.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIf you’re using a spacer, it may get sticky and hard to remove. If this happens, use a set of our\u00a0fancy tweezers.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
