    Yet another spacers question

    How do I stop moisture from getting between the spacer and the wheel. And the spacers the the rotor?
    Took them off recently and found it to be a problem.

    Sometimes rust can start to form on the steel hub and prevent the spacer to be torqued flat. I would guess sand it back and apply some form of grease? Copper grease might be good.

    yeah, I think lack of grease may be the problem. It was rusting a little...
