I just bought a set of spacers from Michael (acuteperformance). Anyway, I remember seeing a link where you place this thin sheet material between the spacer and hub so that the spacer doesn't "weld" itself to the hub for easy removal. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? I thought I saw it on autogeek.net but I can't find it.

Thanks!

You don't need that, that's what makes TMS spacers good. There's a notch on the spacers for easy removal.

Yeah I know. I'm just anal about it. BTW, THANKS! Man these Turner Motorsports spacers are light. A pair of 10mm spacers weigh as much as my coffee mug.

The only reason why you cant remove a stuck spacer is because there's no room to pull the spacer. It's not like they are super stuck just lightly stuck...

Anyways, like I said don't worry about it, if the TMS spacers get stuck removing it is very very easy and won't require much force.
