Stuck Spinner

[nathanmargolis]

I am new to the Cobra world. Purchased a used Backdraft last week with 2,800 miles. However the car is a 2016 and tires are original and time to replace because of age. Going with Nitto 555 G2s as one of my neighbors is a DiscountTire District Manager and getting me some good prices. Because of the spinner wheels, they will mount if I get the wheels off.

I was told to use a lead mallet and knock the opposite why the tire spins. For example, on the passenger side, hit clockwise and on passenger side hit counter clockwise.

Using a 4 pound lead hammer and pounded the hell out of it. Used PJ Blaster, pounded the hell out of it. Still no luck.

Questions:
• Confirm I am going in the correct direction
• Is a four pound hammer to light as the 6 pound is 50% heavier?
• Has anyone used a Spinner 911 tool for about $179? Are they worth
good.
• Anybody in the Houston area own one and if so, willing to let me have a shot with it?

Thank you,
