Well,
The knock-off came off. We had the "Finish line tool" and the Rick427 tool. The finish line tool is a nice piece however, there is NO WAY that that tool would have removed my knock-off. I had a bent ear and it took a long handled 10# sledge hammer and 15 minutes of hard pounding to get the spinner to turn. We believe that I used too much anti-seize and it actually caused a sort of bonding affect between the wheel and spinner. The spinner at this point is distorted due to the early pounding it took at the tire shop.
Rick's tool is the only tool I can think of that would have removed my spinner . It has the correct engineering to remove stuborn spinners, it fits into the hub and firmly on each ear. The key is the mounting and the "hammering star" on the back which allows you to drive off the spinner. I forgot my camera but we'll try to post something. I probably need Ricks permission, don't want to infringe on his "patent"
.
Thanks Tony for all of your help!!!,
