    Use a heavy hammer and knock the spacer on its side, all around, until you break corrosion.
    Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

      You want to insert anything small behind the spacer to apply some force and then get them spinning on the hub. This will run them off the hub. Prying on them will not move them very well.
      Plus treat them like stuck bolts and use PB Blaster. Ive used slim metal putty spatula to open a gap and soak it in the release agent.
      this sorta thing doesn't work when you have studs too :)

          LMAO i've only had studs for a little more than a half year and had my share of stuck spacers before the studs.
          carry on :)

            I've never tried this but next time i'm going to, with a skilled hand and incredible precision, Bash the shit out of the rotor from the back with a dead blow. Not enuogh to shatter it hopefully, but enough to make it move a bit when it's being hit on the side opposite the rotor set screw. Just enough to open up a gap to pry against. Might be dumb I don't care, I hate stuck spacers and my rotors can feel my pain.
