My dentist uses a dead blow hammer and other than some tenderness on the ear that gets whacked, a slight ringing in my ears when I come to, and the vestiges of the headache just after contact it seems to work pretty well — I am totally unaware of any milling, drilling or filling he does on me. Sometimes there can be the attendant, occasional uncontrollable twitches for a week or so afterwards ...

Ed, any idea what size hammer he uses? I’ve heard 30 oz for simple fillings with 60oz for extractions….Also some will even use a lead as it won’t mar your head |

From the ringing in my ears I am guessing it's a 60 oz device. :LOL: |

I had the plastic on a Snap-On dead blow hammer explode on me when whacking a knock-off. Scares the heck out of you. Apparently, they decompose over time and are also subject to temperature change, like cold. I use the American Hammer lead one now.

Puller? For install and removal?

New to the spinners. So is the puller the preferred approach for both wheel install and removal?
Or better for one than the other?
Thanks for another great thread! |

Only use a puller to take your spinners off. Never to put them on. Supposedly that torque multiplier you see me with can apply a ridiculous amount of torque, like 4,000 ft/lbs or something. I would never use it to tighten anything up. Ever.:cool: |

So now back to the crux of this thread then.
Owners strike the spinners of their shiny wheels with a lead hammer? I didn't expect that..... |

Some of us don't have shiny spinners. Mine are unshiny steel, but others do have shiny aluminum and occasionally break off an ear. But yes, you whack them with a lead hammer to put them on and, if you're old like me, you remove them with something a little easier.:cool:

Note that the use of force (and forceful tools) is only necessary IF proper care wasn't taken when the spinner was installed. That proper care is a small dab of anti-seize on the mating surface of the spinner to the wheel. If you do that you won't need more than a few whacks of the lead mallet to remove them... And if you do, you're tightening them too much.
Also remember that the spinners are directional - don't confuse stuck with going the wrong direction.

I also have a C2 Corvette with KOs and chromed steel spinners. I use a 6 lb lead hammer on them and after 30 years they still don’t have a mark on them. Just keep the hammer clean. Don’t lay it on the bare floor or work bench where it can pick up dirt, sand or metal shavings. |

Spinner Eaze is definitely the best option. You don't need a lot, it goes a long way. Otherwise you'll have excess crap on the wheels after driving.
