Has anyone advice on two earred spinner tools for tighten or loosen of spinners....better than a hammer see video? Video spinner removal tool Agreed this one is too bulky and expensive. I use the MG one, less bulky and cheaper, works great. Number 12: http://www.mgocspares.co.uk/acatalog/MGOC_SPARES_WHEEL_NUTS__SPINNERS__MGC__374.html#topanchA hammer only in emergency! It doesn't make sense to use one. We go to all the trouble to be as precise as we can working on our cars and on the other hand spinners get the living daylights beat out of them in a random manner, resulting in dents, damaged chrome and the torque on each wheel being completely different from all the others!

Rev4k (Paul) showed me a 3D printed version of a tool he is working on at RftH.
It is a development piece at the moment, but is intended to undo two and three eared spinners.
I still find it a pain using a hammer; bang, bang, bang...
So I have resorted to a hair dryer to minimise the effort; on the spinner, not my hair.

Hi Rob, when I had +8 and Roadster I used this Spinner tool not cheap but very good. I had a spare socket welded to the end of the tool, which improved ease of use. Very good for cars with bigger offset making it difficult to bash with a hide hammer etc.

We go to all the trouble to be as precise as we can working on our cars and on the other hand spinners get the living daylights beat out of them in a random manner, resulting in dents, damaged chrome and the torque on each wheel being completely different from all the others! There is logic in this statement. It is not precise nor is it consistent from one owner to another or from a lead hammer, a raw hide hammer nor a rubber hammer. I often take the wheels off of other Morgans. They are damn tight. I must pound and pound to get them off. Are they too tight? I don't know. I pound them on with a lead hammer until they will not move anymore. Are they too loose? Not sure. Pound them on when wheel is in the air, or on the ground? I have been told I will destroy the wheel bearings if I pound them in the air. But do I add friction when I pound them on the ground? On My disk wheel +8 Bitsa I use a torque wrench at 35PSI. I am told to never put grease on the lug threads, EVER!!! I wonder what is proper????

the wood (which is a plywood cut around a spinner shape) actually disintegrates as you use it or hit it!
