Hey guys (or gals) I got a yoyo in a trade recently and it has a d size bearing which is all good and well but it doesn't seem to have any c clips to get the shields off any ideas?
Edit: If it helps, its a japanese EZO

With bearings that have no c clips I use an exacto knife and then blade watch screwdriver to pry the shield off. There's usually enough of a gap between the inner race and shield that you can wedge in an exacto blade and pry it back a enough to get the screwdriver in and pop it off:
... but there is a risk of damaging the bearing, and you wont be putting the shield back on once you get it off.
