The important features of a car seal (sometimes known as a valve zip tie) for sealing valves are pretty basic. basically, it just has to be long enough to pass around the valve body, or nearby anchor point, and the valve operating wheel or lever.

If you’re unable to remove a yo-yo’s bearing by hand, it may be necessary to use a set of pliers. Especially recently, high performance yo-yos have very tightly seated bearings, which are difficult to remove. Here’s instruction on how to properly remove it without damaging either the bearing or your yo-yo.

Since many yo-yos are equipped with size C bearings, common removers are also designed for size C bearings. If you have a yo-yo with a different size bearing, you will not be able to use a bearing remover for a size C bearing. Please check the size of the bearing on your yo-yo beforehand.

Things like seal head material, cable material, or the ability to uniquely identify the seals on the valves are also important features. If you require a specific feature in your car seals, why not let us know. We always try and accommodate the requirements of the car seal user.

Bearing Removal Tool

If the yo-yo is disassembled and the accelerator (shaft) is attached to the body on the side with the bearing, remove the accelerator first. If the axle is still attached, it may hit the remover.If the accelerator is attached on the opposite side of the bearing, there is no need to remove the accelerator, so proceed to the next step.

With so many valve sizes to be sealed, anything from a few inches (cm) to 6ft+ (2m) long might be needed. The sensible approach is to stock a longer seal that fits all valve sizes, then just trim off the surplus after it’s deployed. But what other specification features might be important?
