Secondly, anti-seize should not be used on the face of the hub and the pad of the spacer as it creates an uneven mating surface which can lead to vibration. It should be used only around the hub.

At the risk of sounding stupid
Would these help? In between hub and spacer? http://www.kleenwheels.com/wheel%20mate_info.htm

My winters came off easily and the hub was relatively rust free with almost a grease ring around it (winters put on by BMW). The rear spacers just slipped on, but the fronts I had to tap down lightly with a rubber hammer to get flush with the hub. Are the Macht Schnells as good as any for future removal based on their coatings - and aluminum to steel issues mentioned in the thread? I noticed some notches on the spacers - is this what you would use to pry them off? Thanks in advance. |

No, you aren't going to get vibration from anti-seize on the face, it's a liquid. And, the fact that it won't last forever (true!) is not a good reason not to use it! I wouldn't leave spacers on for more than 3-6 months depending on how rainy/humid/salty it is where you live. I always install aluminum spacers with anti seize. |

I don't think Malek was saying not to use it on the hub, I think he was just agreeing that you can still have problems even when using it. |

Recently had to take some off of a car I just purchased that came with them installed. After a Discount Tire employee beat the hell out of them with no success I took the car back and went straight to a friend's garage who used to race and now instructs. He had them off in about 15 minutes. No prying at all. He used a punch to wedge into one of the predrilled holes in the spacer and gave it a couple of good knocks to make it spin on the hub. Once we got them broke lose where they would rotate it was pretty easy to rotate right off. Don't focus on prying off, focus on getting them to rotate on the rim first.

main reason is strength. it is also convenient for me switching wheels all the time and i can pull my spacers on and off and use the same stud rather than having several different lengths.
