James
An easy way to remember is, no matter what side of the car you are looking at the spinners tighten towards the trunk.

Did you manage to get one off?
What kind of hammer were you hitting the spinner with?

You might want to ditch the crappy aluminum spinners and go for stainless steel ones from CobraRacing.com Hubs and Accessories

I will probably replace just the one spinner from Trigo right now, but will be looking very strongly at the polished stainless ones when I have more funds. Do you know if the ones from Cobraracing fit the Trigo wheels on an SPF. Looks as if they have a pretty good price for the stainless, too. |

I have them on my ERA, and I know they fit the Shelby hubs as well. I don't think I've heard of different hub thread sizes between ERA/CSX/SPF/Kirkham so I would bet they're all the same. |

Proceed with caution when swapping spinners between different wheel sets. While the threading on the hubs may be compatible, the depth of the engagement of the threads on the spinner and the angle of the contact surfaces between the spinner and the wheel differ. Swapping spinners can be done but it is important to do your homework before purchasing replacements. For example, there are important differences between Trigo’s, WAW1 & WAW2 wheels and their spinners for example. Regarding Vintage Wheels, and the interchangeability of hubs and spinners, I have no accurate data, so I won't comment, but would like to add info from knowledgeable sources to my info collection.
If you broke your spinner pounding it in the wrong direction, or relied only on beating a frozen spinner off without trying a few other options, breaking it is understandable. Be sure to inspect the threads and bearing surfaces for damage before reinstalling. Totally clean all surfaces of any old anti-seize compound and re-lubricate all bearing surfaces with anti-seize compound. Dennis Olthoff's video regarding spinner installation is spot-on. The proper hammer is important and over tightening is not necessary. Safety wire will not prevent a spinner from coming off. It only acts a marker to identify a possible problem - and only IF you check them regularly.

I did get them all off after using Liquid Wrench and waiting a couple of hours and I used Cobra Valley's 6 lb Muther Thumper.
The one that broke did so on the only the fourth hit with somewhat medium force. The others were hammered even harder with no breakage. |
