Heat it a little with a torch first. Just the aluminum spacer nothing else, the spacer should expand a fraction. Be careful not to damage the surface of the spacer. Good luck!

Alex: give it a good shot of WD40. Let stand, wipe off the excess, put the wheel back on, Take off the wheel tomorrow and it will probably fall right off. WD40 is good stuff but it takes alittle time.
