Help! - MS Wheel Spacers - Removal
I'm trying to remove 12 and 15mm wheel spacers, but they are pretty stuck on there. Before installing it, anti seize was applied. Are there any recommendations out there? I tried hitting it with a mallet and it's still stuck on there.

By any chance, was anti-sieze used on the hub when installing? This aids greatly in spacer removal.

Working the spacer off little by little evenly will be what you need, patience is key.

if you're careful you could tap at it with the flat edge of a screwdriver. maybe wrap it in a cloth to protect the hub and rotor. Or even something broad and flat like a paint scraper, maybe?
When we took my spacers off they easily came free of the hubs, but I hear it's not uncommon for them to stick a bit, even with anti-seize. |
