Spacers stuck to wheel hub!
 
Alright first thing I purchased for my 8 was Garageline 25mm spacers. They look great on stock rims. Only issue I've been having is every time i try and take them off they are severely stuck to my hub. I need to take them off again for autocross at the end of next month. I figured i would ask for advice on removing them instead of doing what i usually do which is just slowly working them off with a tiny and large flat-head and WD40, which takes upwards of 15 minutes per wheel. Very annoying. anyone have this issue, or can give me a remedy? :wallbash:

Anti seize is your friend. Dab a small bit behind the spacers where they contact the hub.

once you have all the lugs for the spacers off, slide the wheel on again and thread one of the wheel lugs. the weight and leverage should help your spacer pop right off.

edit: what GK101 said is also a good word of advice.. didnt ALWAYS work for me, which is why I mentioned my method..
