    I need some help, I was attempting to remove my spidertrax today to replace with smaller spacers and the passenger front spacer is rotor/studs. I've tried hitting it with a hammer (with a towel between to avoid damage) and prying it off. Nothing is making it budge. When I try to pry it off I can see it's separating from the rotor a bit, but it's stuck to the studs. I used a gel locktite when I put them on and I think it created a bond between the stud and spacer.

    Anyone have any suggestions? I got one rear spacer off no problem, but haven't tried the other two as I ran out of time. Hopefully they aren't stuck as well.

    Puddy knife and tap with hammer between the two. Softly.. I had same issue. Don't panic it will break free. Just take your time and don't smash things up.

    Just wanted to say thanks again for the advice. I had to scrape some of the locktite out, but the putty knife did the trick.
