Just How Hard Do You Whack the Wheel Spinner

When tightening everything up? Can I assume 3-4 moderate blows with a copper/ lead hammer? I’ve yet to have to remove or install a wire wheel.

That sounds about right. I usually hit until it stops turning. The hubs are handed so the forward rotation tends to keep the spinners on tight.

Copper hammer can damage the spinner. Lead hammer is less damaging. Wooden adapters help avoid damage also.

+1 on how Irgridley does it. I hit it with a lead hammer till it stops turning.
