General MG Stubborn spinner

Hi Everyone,
I got my STUBBORN 2-eared spinner off. Sharing a technique to hopefully help others

No cutting, no torch, no pnuematics. Attached picture is worth 1000 Words. I put a bottle jack on one end and used a soft blow hammer on the other. I made black marks with a Sharpie on the wheel and spinner to gauge my progress (it was painfully slow). At the progress marks below I gave it another 25 whacks and kept adjusting the bottle jack by 1/16 inch. On a whim, I tried my Clark and Clark wrench and it spun right off

This task seemed impossible a few days ago.

There is tool that might be used. It is $80 plus international shipping: > 2 Prong Wire Wheel Knock Off Tool <
THis one is $200: > Wire rim Two Wing knock off tool lowrider hydraulics | eBay <
