wheels that go on eventually have to come off. I have found that tri-wing knock off spinners tend to tighten rather than loosen, assuming they are snug in the first place. If you want to use a lead hammer to put them on, hold the hammer up close to the head, so you can't hit as hard as when you remove the spinner by hitting the spinner with the hammer held near the end of the handle. For some time, i tap them on with a dead blow hammer, until they quit turning, then stop. I don't wack them as hard as possible either. Thus far, with my lead hammer, i have always been able to get the spinners off with the lead hammer. I use antiseize on the mating surfaces, too. I think if you hit them hard with the lead hammer, you will break off a wing trying to take them off with the lead hammer. Just my experience.
