Hit the Rotor. Once it's warmed up, get it into the crack in between the Spacer and Rotor.

It's just the oxides holding it together. Just burn that shit off and you're good to go.

OP you said you tried heating it, yet how hot? The spacer is a different metal than the hub, thus physics tells us it should expand/contract at a different rate, which will help break it loose. The space is aluminum so it should heat up fast. I heated mine then hit it with a sledge, popped right off.

Otherwise just PB blast the shit out of it and wait.

Same thing happened to my spacers on my M3

I soaked them all overnight in WD40. Then hammer and chisel time

I do not use spacers on my car anymore :failed:

If you use Aluminum Spacers, ALWAYS ALWAYS put never-seize on the mating surface for the Spacer-Rotor.

Same thing goes for any Non-Ferrous - Ferrous metals. Lug Nuts, Spacers, Coilover Threads etc.
