I can't clean bearings ;]
« on: September 26, 2009, 10:47:08 PM »

I must not be able to clean bearings.

1. De-shield
2. Put in mineral sprits
3. Take out let dry for 10 mins
4. Lightly lube

Yet ALL of my yoyos are hella responsive.

Try a can of compressed air and a more descriptive thread title & I think you'll be alright.

soak then swirl in OMS, use canned air, put on a pencil hold nozzle at angle so it spins the bearing. one or two, 1/2 second shots and your done then dip needle in thin lube and touch inside of bearing, flick with finger to spin,spreading the lube then good to go.

5. Play it for a few hours to break it in (sometimes a day)

I added a number 5 for you  Smiley

When you say lightly lube, what do you mean?

u need to micro lube it I use a wooden toothpick with enough lube to not even make a drop then I touch it to two of the balls in the bearing to quiet it up some. the bearing noise keeps my girlfriend up at night otherwise I would run them dry without lube... try that. try cleaning a bearing and not lubing it... how do they work for u then??

Lightly lube. Tongue Pin drop. I play with the bearings for a good half an hour and it's still meh. I'll keep on breaking it in.
