I've had lotsa experience with the aluminum to aluminum mating surface of the Trigo wheels. Here's some background you may find of interest:

The galling of your spinner / wheel surface is due to lack of anti-seize compound. Aluminum is soft, and once the unlubricated surfaces mate, they will tend to score or gall after being tightened.

It is important to "dremmel" and sand (use coarse sand paper) the mating surfaces as sooth as possible lest one rough surface will again "grab" the other when tightened.

To order the proper anti-seize for your aluminum surface... try this:

Once you have your spinner off, you do not need a socket tool. They do not need to be re-torqued that tight. I simply use my lead hammer with a couple brisk hits after hand tightening. That is all that is needed. The safety wire should be wired with slack so you can see if the spinner backs off any.

Remove spinners, inspect mating surfaces, and recoat once yearly. Your Trigos will never be a problem again!!

Good luck..
