Steps 6 – 10 will show you how to disassemble the core to change the springs. These steps are dif�cult and if you are having trouble please refer to the videos available in the Speed Cubing section on Rubiks.com. If you do not wish to change the springs then skip straight to step 11.

Push down and in on all 4 tabs at once. Make sure that you are pushing the tabs

rather than the plastic around the tabs. The core should come apart slightly

allowing you to then open it the rest of the way (it may be helpful to use your nail or

the screwdriver provided).

TIGHT MEDIUM LOOSE

HOW TO DISASSEMBLE AND REASSEMBLE YOUR RUBIK’S SPEED CUBE

1Remove the centre cap using a �at head screwdriver

Congratulations you now own a Rubik’s Speed Cube! To �nd out more about Speed Cubing please go to Rubiks.com and click on Speed Solving. The aim of this guide is to help you customise your Rubik’s Speed Cube to the way you like it. The Cube is currently set to a medium tension. Do not over tighten the Cube or you risk damaging it. To adjust the tension remove the tiles (as in step 1) and screw the screws anti-clockwise. To achieve different tensions assemble as shown below, using the following steps (omitting steps 6 – 10). If you want your Rubik’s Speed Cube even looser then you can change the springs following all the steps in the instructions. A full instruction video on all of these steps can be found in the Speed Cubing section on Rubiks.com.

You can lubricate the cube when fully assembled, but for best results with Rubik’s Lube, lubricate when the Cube is apart (just before step 11). For more information on lubricating the Rubik’s Speed Cube please visit the Speed Cubing section on Rubiks.com. Note: only a tiny amount of lube is needed and will quickly spread inside the Cube with a few twists and turns.
