Generally you unscrew the top ball (the one on the top, outside of your belly button rather than on the under, inside), but sometimes if the ball is on there really tight you'll need to use pliers to unscrew it. Just be careful and make sure you don't lose the ball, but if you do you can always use a ball from another ring.
Unscrew the ball from the rod counter clockwise until it is off.
Simply unscrew the ball off of either side of the barbell and remove the jewellery.
There is a retaining ring that spins on and off. There is a retaining ring that spins on and off. There is a retaining ring that spins on and off.
Remove the ball and pull it out. If it's a closed in ball, take some needlenose pliers, put the end of the pliers in the ring and gently pull the pliers open inside the ring until the ball pops out. Be sure to do this somewhere where the ball doesn't bounce off under something. Edit: If its a ball closure ring, use needlenose pliers. I didnt have needlenose pliers so my dad did it with scissors for me, wasnt a brillaint idea but it did work (:
You just slide the backs off if its a stud. If its a ring, pop the ball out and if its a post, unscrew the ball. If they're really tough to get off, try having someone take them off for you and if that doesnt work, go see a piercer.
If the ball is held in place by the ring, then it's called a Captive Bead Ring, this means it's only held by the tension of the ring (captive). So to remove the bead just apply pressure to the side of the bead away from the ring and the bead will pop off. If you can't get the bead to pop out then you will need to visist your piercer and have them use a ring expanding plier to open the ring enough so the bead will drop out. If it's a barbell then the bead unscrews from the barbell, turn to the left to loosen the ball, turn right to tighten the ball. ( righty tighty, lefty loosie )
It just pulls off. There are 2 indentations on either side of the ball that the ends of the hoop fit into.
Remove shift release button off the top of the shifter, inside there is a small snap ring. Remove the snap ring and lift the shifter knob off.
Either it isn't screwed on tight enough or if its a captive ball ring, the ring isn't tight enough. So either use pliers to squeeze the ring tighter or screw it on.
Push the bead side ways and it will pop off the ring, it's called a captive bead ring, the bead is held by the tension of the ring nothing more. no to get the ball off, you turn the ball to your right. the phrase Righty tighty lefty losey applies only it's the left of the piercer in which case would be your right. if the ball is stubborn and still won't come off go to a the piercer that put the piercing in place or another body art studio and explain to them you can't get the ball off and they should loosen it for you.
If you are unable to get the ball off using your fingers, you will have to use pliers to get the ball off. It is best to have someone else use the pliers and not try to do it by yourself.
peel it off.
