Bill when I purchased the spinner tool from Cobra Valley I also bought their thread lube for the wheels. Don't know if it is the best thing to use but was told not to use anti seze on the threads. I have the 18" wheels and had to do a modification to the tool for it to fit correctly. Seems as the tool fits the 17" wheel better.

Thank you Jim, perfect.

Is that tool for sale anywhere yet?

Forgot where I got it its a puller that hooks on the hole in the wheel and on the ear of the spinner works great remember they come off the way the wheel rotates forward

I use anti seize and a lead hammer also, three good wacks on each ear.Then I install stainless steel wire.

Called a spinner 911 tool works great

Can anyone tell me why the images he posted don't show for me? It says attached images but there is nothing there or no link to them.

Your push pin only prevents the spinner from falling off, does nothing for keeping it tight.

The push pin on the Kirkham Trigo can fail, mine did. A lot of damage, my ignorance in believing it would. Now the hub has a drilled through and a stainless steel clevis pin in used with tiny washer and snap ring

Good question Fred.

Doesn't show for me either, but I see all other attached photos in other threads.

The reason they are no longer visible is a website called photobucket that used to tell people they would host their photos for free and you could have a linkable single repository accessible from any website.

Later they had a "that was then and this is now" sort of come to Jesus epiphany and announced if you wanted that sort of storage service and capability there was now going to be a charge for it. Some guys paid the ransom and some didn't. If you didn't then your older threads that you used photobucket to populate with images looked like this thread.

The fix is pretty easy. Remember nothing is free and post your images directly on Club Cobra in the thread they are specific to or put them in your personal members gallery on Club Cobra and use the Club Cobra supplied picture address to post them in club Cobra threads.

If you do it this way they will last as long as Club Cobra does and always be visible to readers in the future.

Remember, words are good but, any thread including

That's what the wire is for. To tell you if it has moved. How often do the spinners come loose and fall off.

It happens, more than you'd guess.
