Modding my shengshou 4x4, and I think I may be missing a spring.

[MobileSubstrate]

I only have 5 springs in it, and the normal center across from the big one that locks the centers in is really stiff and doesn't pull out, like the centers do when you pull on them. Is the big lock in piece supposed to not have a spring and it's got one so a regular center doesn't have one, or did my cube come without a spring?

It definitely should have a spring in it, but it sounds more like you have the screw too tight to the point that the spring is fully compressed.
Unless youve taken it apart and confirmed that there are only 5 springs of course.

I was going to take it apart to lube it, we shall see. Thanks for your help.

if there really are only 5 springs i recommend replacing all of them with dayan springs from thecubicle.us
