!!! Help 20mm Eibach spacers fused to hub - unable to get off

[kbad]

Hi Guys ,

 

my 20mm eibach spacers are fused to hob , fitted from brand new (fitted earlier this year) . Now unable to get screws off to fit new front discs and pads . Has anyone experienced this

Don't get angry with me but have you been a clown? 

Are the spacers fused to the hub as you say, or have you rounded the spacer nuts?

You should be able to get the old spacers off without damage so just send the new spacers back.

Next time, unbolt the spacer nuts and refit the wheel and do up 3 nuts fully tight. Then bang the tyre 12, 6, 3 and 9 position until you free up the spacer behind the wheel and you're good.
