Phazer ski spacer removal

[wheel10]

Trying to widen my stance, but having trouble getting the spacers out after I remove the ski. I was told the only thing holding them on was the bolt, but I’ve banged away and it seems like they are attached to the spindle. Can anyone help?

Thay are rusted onto the ski bushing.

Yes, use some heat, or an air hammer.

And be prepared to change the spindle bushings too. I would just get those on hand before worrying about widening it. Its time to ride.

I’ll second that above. Have parts on hand.

I had to cut off mine and replace them by new one. I tried to heat them and hammer away. That did not work. They were just bounded by the rust.

Good luck.
