Chuck,

I use a 3 foot piece of 2x4 lumber and a sledge hammer. You take the 2x4 and place the butt end on the spinner ear and hold the board vertically upwards angling it away from the car's fender. Chock up on sledge hammer so you can strike the end of the board using one hand to swing the hammer while the other hand is holding the lumber straight. If need be you can place the lumber on a different spinner ear to avoid only one ear taking all the pounding abuse. This method works for me and I like the fact that I am not directly hitting the spinner ears running the risk of breaking them or beating them up. Plus the board is long enough away from the car so there is little chance of striking the car where you didn't plan to. I could imagine missing solid contact on the spinner, which then glances off the ear and the lead hammer hits the wheel rim. Ouch!
