How to Use Vaseline on Yo-Yo Bearings
- 1). Take apart the yo-yo and separate the bearing, the spacers and the axle. Unscrew the two halves using a small screwdriver. Separate the halves and slide off the bearing and the parts of the shaft.
- 2). Wipe excess debris or dirt build-up using a dry towel.
- 3). Clean the bearing, spacers and axle thoroughly with a wet towel. Dry the bearing before adding any lubricant.
- 4). Scoop a small amount of Vaseline or squeeze Vaseline Lip Therapy into a small container.
- 5). Dip the end of a Q-tip into the Vaseline and apply it to the surface of the bearing.
- 6). Wipe your fingers with a dry towel after applying the Vaseline to avoid getting any of the lubricant on the yo-yo halves.
- 7). Reassemble the parts of the yo-yo by reversing the actions you completed in step one.
- 8). Re-apply Vaseline every 30 minutes to one hour to maintain lubrication.
