#1: Spacer seized Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:18 am ---- The spacer has seized onto the inside of Georgie's wheel
I have tried hitting it with a rubber mallet and soaking it in penetrating spary and its not shifting.
Any sensible suggestions?

#6: Re: Spacer seized Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:48 am ---- this happened to me so we put big fat bolt through one of the holes and hit it with a big hammer and after a few taps they came off, oh and loads of WD

Basically what Jord said, but easier

never happen on mine and as a rule of thumb is your should grease the hubs surface before you put the wheels on.

Copperslip is better ... copes with high temps which you get next to the brakes.

Copper grease or white lithium.
Always put it on the back of wheels too

But it's off from my wheel as i was swopping the 20mm spacers for 10mm spacers to stop the scrubbing on the rear.
I have them all copper greased up now
