<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"; COLOR: #002060'>Roger,
what do you mean by "peripheral play"? Does that mean that when you
tighten the spinner that you can turn the wheel back and forth (i.e., as it
normally turns), or that you can rock the wheel sideways? There is some
play in the rear axle/differential, so if you are turning the wheel back and
forth you may just be seeing the rear axle play. Apply the handbrake until
the wheel doesn't move. If the wheel still moves when you try to turn it,
then the play is between the wheel and spinner. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"; COLOR: #002060'>Are you
tightening the spinner with the weight of the car off the wheel, as you
should?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"; COLOR: #002060'>If none of
this applies and you really have to hammer the spinner, then something is
definitely wrong. I normally hit the spinner until I don't see it moving,
then lower the car to the ground and tap it again. I've never had a
spinner loosen up. Oh, I also never hit the spinner directly with the
hammer, but use a piece of scrap wood and hit that. Wood is cheaper than a
new spinner, or even a new lead hammer.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"; COLOR: #002060'>As
designed, the wheel is clamped between the taper on the spinner/taper on the
outer wheel hub and the taper of the splined hub/taper on the inner wheel
hub. Driving torque is mainly carried by the splines, but I suppose
friction of the taper surfaces could account for some of it, especially if the
splines are worn.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

an aside, trying to get my head around all this, appears to me that torque is
