Try out some double layered OLL's to see what they do

(small letters mean wide turns)
Try these: r U2 r' U' r U' r' and r U r' U r U2 r' (sunes)
Or this one: r (f b') U2 (b f') r' (should be obvious how this one works)

Try this or youtube 5x5 solve.

It also depends on which 5x5x5 type it is. On youtube you can search for how to open it, and you just spray in the opening.

Hey, is it a eastsheen or rubiks? Maybe i can give you advice on rubik's dismantling..

Rubik's brand.

 

[ImNOTnoob]

The rubik's 5x5 is impossible to disassemble by popping an edge or wing. The only way is by popping the center edge pieces. Just a hint, lazy to explain exactly how..

 

[TMOY]

Popping wings works very well on mine.

 

[DcF1337]

Purposely misalign your 5x5 until one of the inner 3x3 cubies pop out. You can then proceed to taking out the rest of the 3x3 cubies. You should be able to figure out the rest of it on your own.

 

[rachmaninovian]

why not just use a straw and spray inside?! foolproof, and easy.

 

[mazei]

I agree with rachmaninovian(dude, your name is really a mouthful =))

Need some help with the 5x5

hey guys, im really stuck on my 5x5 at the moment, basically im at the edge pairing part, and ive made 8 tredges, and if i try to make anymore it ruins another tredge. I've got my 8 tredges stored in the up and down sides(4 on each ), not that really matters but oh well
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Did you try this ?

If you can watch videos, I guess its a good help!

That site doesnt seem to help

I don't really do that method, but I'm pretty sure you need to take one of the middle (unsolved) edge groups out that you don't really care about to switch out with something you've solved. You won't get very far while keeping all 8 solved edge groups in the U/D layers.

I think it does help, as it's led to multiple WR holders having success. Try reading it again, and if you can't get it from that site, I would suggest stop trying to do 5x5 for a bit.

That link was specifically for the last two tredge though. They are stuck on the last four and cant get to the last two. Maybe the link to just the 5x5 edge pairing would have been more appropriate.
