How to Take Apart & Reassemble Big Cubes (4x4, 5x5, 6x6, & 7x7)

[@limkristina]

THANKS!! My teen son's Yuxin Little Magic 6x6 popped when I stepped on it. After watching this, it took me about 40 min to sort and rebuild. I found it helpful to have someone else grip the first finished corner quarter so I could build the next bridge but after that I managed alone. This was much more satisfying than buying a new one and my son's smile made it all worthwhile.

[@stunseed7280]

Spent 2 Hours re-biulding a 7x7 that popped 2 years ago and didn't want to re-biuld it again, this video didnt "help" me that much, it just gave me the courage and energy to re-biuld it and finally i have done it; Thanks.

Thank you so much. I just got the YJ MGC m 6x6, and it popped internally and externally, and you tutorial was the only one that actually worked.

[@craftcrewtv8094]

the exact same thing happened to me when i got yj mgc 6x6 2 years ago, with the only difference, that i didn't get the idea to watch a tutorial, instead i was painstakingly trying to figure out how does the mechanism work so that i can fix it. now it happened again but apparently i am older and wiser.

I once disassembled one of the hopeless Rubik's 5x5, I thought I would be able to improve the turning by adding some lubrication to the internal mechanism. It ended spending about a month disassembled, all parts in a bowl, until I had the actual courage to get it back together. The improvement was really marginal.

[@yellowsubmarine4231]

I remember my 4x4 cube that I disassembled intentionally to look around inside it.. also I was curious about its poppings and other bad conditions. When I was about to assemble it, yeah pretty hard because of 3 inner-pieces and moving center plate.. it also took so many months disassembled and finally, I had a courage to assemble it again. Never used this again because IDK how to solve it. Same thing happened earlier for the second time. I thought it will be easy but still feels hell. The cause is, only one of the 3 inner-piece is missing. BTW now I can solve it..

[@_daissh_]

I have saved this, because my 4×4 recently exploded. It's back together now, and when I saw this video, I decided to save it in case it happens again!

[@cubes9959]

me: the way to take apart the 4x4 is loosen the tensions and then start doing oll parity really fast and wait till it explodes.

Note that my explanation of each cube in this video builds on the explanation of all previous cubes in the video. If you're just looking to assemble a 4x4 or a 7x7, you'll need to watch the 5x5 section first. If you're just looking to assemble a 6x6, you'll need to watch the entire video up to that point. Also wow, this video sure turned out long (although I guess 7 minutes per cube is reasonable). I hope you at least found the in-depth explanations and demonstrations helpful; I haven't really seen a good general-purpose big cube assembly video on KZbin.

Thanks now I can fix my 4x4. +1 4x4 on the collection Getting a piece is like taking a tooth out😂

[@felixrowan3740]

Thanks Z3! Very helpful. Had to take apart my new Aosu 4x4 in order to clean each of the pieces because of a grinding feeling that I think was caused by lube clumping together between the outer pieces. Reassembly was difficult, but it was well worth it! Cube works perfectly and smoothly again!

[@cheesygingerbread]

[@Glizzygobbler6969]

Holy crap thank you so much, my last 7X7 had a piece pop out and I broke it trying to put it back in. My new one came today, and almost immediately I popped one out on accident, I was so worried I’d break it again but now I know how to do it right!!! Thank you!!!

[@raqha4575]

Just a tip for the 4x4: assemble the 3 first pieces (the big and the 2 tiny pieces) together and squish it in it. When its to difficult to hold the thing toghether

[@_Fuscous]

That is possibly the worst advice I have ever heard. If you have a small cube, holding the 3 pieces together can give you a higher risk of exploding your cube than just putting them in one at a time.

Thanks had a total pop up literally every piece of my 5x5 fell off, had to glue the core also, and some pieces came apart in three 😂😂😂 thanks so much I have my cube back thanks to your video

[@cbrawlb]

a trick you can use for putting back together is that if you're going for speed instead of to have it solved completely is that on even cubes make sure the corners are aligned and then on odds make sure corners and center edges are correctly put in like a normal 3x3. all the centers and other edge pieces don't matter.

[@Para20Site]

Thanks. I popped one of the inner middle layer pieces of my 4x4 out and was a bit confused where it should even go. I had kinda hoped never to have to take apart and reassemble any bigger cube, but at least it's back together now.

[@Brainded691]

putting it together scramble unironically is a war crime

[@asemnirmalasemnirmal767]

Thank you z3 cubing this video helps me a lot I tried to reassemble my 4X4 a whole day

[@flabbergasted5588]

Really nice vid on reassembling cubes that are big, 4x4 is way more difficult to do than the 5x5 because the core center piece base is solid unlike the 4x4 core center which moves up and down which is a struggle when putting edge sections between the centers.

[@nikolast12w]

Thank you! If you are having problems with the first step on a 4x4 it helped me to tape the inner layer so it would stay in place

[@chinmayharhare9960]

Suggestions for odd layer cubes you can put it scrambled but middle edges and corners placed correctly relative to their centres . For even layer you can put white corners one way and yellow other way so that cube is solvable

[@spifuntastic621]

Yass!!! Thanks wanted this for a month!!!!

[@lloydgaines5871]

You are amazing as alway explaining thing. Obviously I’m not the only one who appreciates you. Quick question. Does the 8x8 solve exactly like the 6x6? I had one piece fall out and I can not seem to get it back in its place. Should I disassemble the whole corner until I get to where it belongs and rebuild the corner or is there an easier way on not getting about re inverting it. From your wording it’s one of the middle pieces you call “the longer one”.

[@lloydgaines5871]

I misspoke, not does it solve the same way but assemble the same as the 6x6. “No disassemble #5”.

[@Z3Cubing]

You could try and take out a couple edges, then work down to the missing center. It's also usually possible to carefully insert a single piece back in by opening up the hole as big as possible (turn the two perpendicular layers like you're corner cutting) and wiggling it in. Try searching a video about how to fix a pop on big cubes if you're stuck.

I learned this from J Perm on even layer cubes put it together so that all of the corners are opposite ex: all the white corners facing one way and all the yellow corners facing the other way on odd layer cubes do the same thing with the corners but do it with the middle edges too
