Default Is it necessary to use dynamite to get a spinner off?

I have been whacking that turkey for a half an hour and cannot get it to come off.

Conterclockwise...to the rearend of the car, facing the front? If so you are tightening the spinners up...."tight ass" is a good rule of thumb for spinners...and that is the way Trigo spinners tighten up

Try knocking the spinner towrd the front of the car. If the wheels and/or adaptors were set up right then the spinners on both sides should loosen up when knocked forward...unless they have seized. An occurance that can happen due to no anti-seize being applied to the spinner and/or adapator threads and heat build up from the brakes.

Wrong way! Tops to the front to loosen.
