4x4 eastsheen assembly (last layer)

[Sam Kennedy]

Sorry if i posted this in the wrong section, I'm not sure where it belongs.

Something came loose inside my eastsheen 4x4, so i couldn't twist the cube. I took the top layer edges and corners out to see what was wrong. I now can't reassemble the cube, because I am either left with an edge or a corner which wont fit. I have tried loosening the center, but when I try to fit the center pieces in, other parts of the cube fall out. Can somebody please tell my how to put this annoying cube back together?

thankyou

Google is your friend.

Basically you have to unscrew the center piece, assemble the LL and then screw the center in, and put the center caps on last.

old thread, I know, but better that starting a new one.

My ES 4x4x4 just came apart at work, I don't have a screwdriver and I can't get the last layer back right.

Is there any way of putting it back together without unscrewing the centre cap?

You're joking right?

I wasn't but now I've found a screwdriver.

I still can't get it back. What order do you do the last layer?

I'm trying to do the corners and edges first and leaving the last 4 centre pieces until last, but I'm having trouble getting the small pieces in.

help anyone?

corners, edges and that thing between them (what's it called), 4 centre pieces, inner center, caps

didn't you get a booklet with your ES?

no, I didn't get a booklet, but I've managed to find the pdf of the one you talk about.

The part I'm stuck on is step 4 (same as step 6) which is putting the posts (from the centre caps) in the corners, I put the 4 corner posts in, then the little peices in between them, put the centre peice in and screw it on, then pop on the 4 centre caps and the top layer doesn't turn properly and feels all loose so I must be doing something wrong.

edit - I've realised that piece 4 is not symmetrical as I previously thought, I might have put some in the wrong way..

edit - tried both ways, still the same. bottom 3 layers turn ok, top layer is stuck.
