Tightened my 6x6, which took forever, since I had to take the pieces out of sides one at a time. Tightened it enough to make it really stiff, so I have to take stuff out again to loosen it. And I made the area underneath my fingernails bleed from trying to get internal pieces in. 6x6 is stupid.

What on earth. I can tighten a 6x6 without needing to take out any internals. I only take out 4 pieces

Which four pieces? The innermost center pieces?

I only made the mistake of taking out the internals on the first side. After that, I left the internals in but still took out all almost all the center pieces. Can you make a video on how to do it with 4 pieces?

Take out the innermost center, the 2 obliques and the outer center that makes up a quarter of the whole center. Make sure this section of pieces is not fixed to the core by the alignment mechanism.

Then just jam the screw driver between the 3 remaining inner centers and it should be fairly easy to tension. slide the hole in the center over to the rest of the screws and repeat.

I had Double-X-Cross, the last pair was a free pair (as a 1x1x2 block) and the LL was r U2 R' U' R U' r' + AUF. I'm pretty sure the start was the one below, or with the first two moves swapped.
