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?

I just took an old extension bar and a lump hammer to mine when they need to come off and after a few even hits around the spigot they just came off.

Shame the hubs dont have studs as i'd sit the spacer on that and knock the wheel off it.
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

The place we get all our tyres from, one of the took a hammer to it, but now it's bent flat on one side now. 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
