I had a wheel give me just a terrible time getting the spinner loose, due to having some aluminum shavings stuck in the threads. I finally got it loose by using a propane torch on the spinner and then whacking with my 6# lead mallet. I finally got the spinner to move maybe 1/8" to 1/4" after 10 strikes and then heat the spinner again. Over and over. I was careful to not get the spinner too hot and felt there was little chance of doing that with the Bernz-o-matic. I had used some of the nifty anti-seize stuff from Cobra Valley and I was really surprised with my difficulty. I was able to scrape the filings out of the threads, cleaned them up and the spinner, as well as the other one from the same side went on very easily. I found the source for the filings and wound up buying a new wheel.
