Talking The guy with the large socket......

Had the best idea! It works, and if you go slow you wont hurt anything.

When I bought my gt40 the guy must have hammered the sh-t out of the spinners and didnt use enough anti-seize. I tried for HOURS hammering in the right direction and could NOT get them loose. I bought a big truck socket, cut the notches in it, lined the cuts with split fuel line (to protect the finish in the spinners), attatched a 3ft breaker bar with a 4 foot extension, and broke them loose!!!

After that experience I had 3inch lug nuts made up to replace the spinners, and use a 1inch truck impact to install and remove. No muss no fuss!

Screw those spinners, never again!! Scott
