FIA Knock off Spinners

[HTM101]

I've had stainless knock-offs against aluminum wheels for 29 years without issue. I've always used antiseize liberally.

Heating the spinner some might help. It should cause it to expand and be somewhat easier to release from the threads.

Any suggestions for replacements or last ditch efforts to get these things unstuck?

Thanks

Dave,

Take a look at this website.

I recently purchased one of these tools, to have on hand just in case I had a stuck spinner on my FIA wheel. I have not had the need to use the tool yet, but it does fit the spinner on my PSE (Phil Schmidt Engineering) wheel very nicely.

You can send Knock Off Spinner Tool an email for more information or better yet, call Sarto, the owner of the company and talk with him directly. See the Contact Us section on their webpage.

I do not have an affiliation nor a financial interest in the Knock Off Spinner Tool company, just sharing my experience. Sarto was easy to work with and he may have just what you need.

Wise move to source some new spinners and also look into getting some quality anti-seize.

Best of luck to you.

Now it's a new thread again :-)
Not that stuck spinners had never been mentioned before.

But I didn't know about all the variations of spinner which Dan explained! Had this thread not gotten reanimated I would not have seen it.

Snek,
I am curious: Is this a 6-pin or 5-pin wheels. Or don't you know yet?

The 5-pin version tend to bind when the barrel shaped nuts ("drive pins") take a set and clamp the wheels from the inside.
