Removing Stuck Wheel Spacers

Does anyone have any tips on getting stuck wheel spacers unstuck from the back of a set of rims without damaging the spacers or rim? Yes I used anti-seize on the mating surface and no it did not help.

WD 40. Give it 5 min.

Pour boiling water on it, and tap the side of it with a mallet.

A dead-blow hammer* may help.

If none of the above works. Loosen the lug nuts up, and drive around the block at low speed.

+1 for the deadblow.
Those things are magic.

Dark Helmet: What's all that churning and bubbling? You call that a radar screen?
