Any guesses how tight the torque on a spinner might be? 10 ft lbs? 20 ft lbs? 100 ft lbs? I have no clue. I always find myself thinking I need to give it one or two or three more taps with my lead hammer, wich I might add has worked great to date.

I could see the value in a proper removal tool with a coating of some sort to prevent marring. Then perform install with a torque value on clean parts with a slight grease coating. It could be a socket attachment which in turn could be used with a torque wrench.

A given torque could be assessed by removing new spinners from a few new SPF if one doesn't already exist.
