<p>Side note: When you get new wires, apply some silicone RTV--I
prefer clear for this application--on the inside of the hubs on
the 'heads' (if they were nails) of the spokes. Otherwise,
whichever grease you put on the splines and threads of the hubs
will ooze out and make a mess.<br>

<div>Don't beat the hell out of them to tighten them, they will
tighten themselves. Just give them a few good blows until its
obvious they aren't going any further. The wheel should be off
the ground otherwise all the force is directed into the spokes
and risks damaging them.</div>

<div>Try heating the spinners if you can't get them off. Worked
for me.</div>
