As a comment from an earlier post:
If the Spidertrax spacers came with Red loctite, use the red. I didn't go the Spidertrax route, so I had to choose. You will definitely have to use some elbow grease to get those off, though.

Don't forget the retainer clip removal!
A tire place around here did put my spacers on and mounted my tires. I wanted to save the same hassle you are talking about.
But they did not use the locktite provided and did not remove the retainer clip.. Give yourself the piece of mind and put them on yourself!
End result is I had to jack it up and do it anway..

I went to 5 different tire places to get my tires and spidertrax mounted. After 5 rejections, I spent an hour with the jack, screwdriver,impact wrench and torque wrench and did it myself. It is simple. Just do it yourself.

Good call on the retainer clips.....Forgot about mentioning those. I used a flat head screwdriver to turn the "teeth" outwards and then they come right off.

IV heard that if you got the tires and rims from 4 Wheel.com, if they sell it, they will install it.
Might be worth checking into.
