Give the spinner several good whacks in all directions..........forward, back, side etc. The vibration will help loosen the bond that has developed over time. Like is said here.....MAKE SURE your smacking it the correct direction! Many a spinner has been broken by someone thinking they were loosing it when they were tightening it. Be patient. If you get frustrated, go have a beer and come back to it. If you get mad and start smackin the hell out of it you will only end up breaking an ear off. When installing them, the best thing is clear silicone. It works as a anti seize, anti gall and thread locker. I have never had a problem with mine getting stuck or backing off.
