Removing Wheel Spacers Loctite

[the_fornicator]

Good tip! When you say rotate the rim really fast in either direction, I assume spinning it either forward or backwards? And not yanking on it (as if I was pulling the rim off)

Yep. Spin/turn the rim with a bit of gusto clockwise <==> counter clockwise until it breaks loose.

Don't yank on it. I mean, you could yank on it but that could take a lot more effort than necessary and have unpredictable results. You could mar a rim, bang a fender, shoot yourself back in an uncontrolled fashion and then drop your rim on its face, etc.

I am pleased to say that they came off easier than I thought they would. Only required moderate effort with a breaker bar. A little tedious using a flathead to scrape off all the residue left on the threads, but glad I didn’t run into any issues. Thank you all again!
