New Hspin bearing...

[iceblink_]

Anyone know how to de shield it? It's the thin one that came with the Save Deth ed.

Stab it really hard w/ a screw driver always works for me. It bends in but you cant put it back in afterwards, but who does that anyways?

lol, wont that mess up the bearing? like make the balls fall out?

[CaliBuddha]

Ok, well, I never used a screwdriver but I usually used a box cutter and pushed each corner in until the shield bent outward so I could pry it off. Never a dropped ball... 

[Stakeichi]

the inside has a ball holder and if you damage that your bearing becomes toast and theres a front side to the bearing and the backside. the fornt side usually has a gap you can see into when you put it up in te light. just be careful.

I use a sewing needle.  I have yet to destroy one with a needle.

Just pick at the inner race until it bends up.  Then take it off.

I don't think you guys understand. This bearing has no C-clips. Its not a normal bearing.

[popdada]

with out a c-clip or when I just give up, I take same said sewing needle and tap it in very, very gently make a small hole in the cap and pop it out that way, I have yet to F up a bearing doing it, just take your time....

I agree, a needle usually works well for prying those clipless bearing shields off.

ha, ha, ha...

[gaberus]

strange, my bearing came open

[Spinner]

funny you say that Gaberus, because one of my small bearings that I ordered was open and the other had red shields on it with no C-clip. As far as I'm concerned I would just clean it thoroughly and keep the shields on.

[CRUCIAL]

i used a box cutter to get the shield off my ezo bearing just be careful

[Seth P]

They are a bit problematic. i honestly haven't tried de-shielding them. I am working on sourcing replacement bearings for those of you with original G&E4s... or wanting a thinner gap is what ever other yo-yo that uses the same bearing.

I'll keep you guys updated.

I got the shields off but it is still locked up and I don't like cleaning my bearings.

I picked up a nice 5x11x4 bearing in the RC car department of a local hobby shop. Made my G&E 4 a dream to play. It even has a metal shield w/C-rings so you can pop the shields out easily. and it only cost $1.50...
