i've flirted with bringing this up on other posts. has anyone here disassembled/assembled three-piece wheels themselves? what's involved? diassembling my wheels would greatly facilitate the refinishing process...
it seems to me that so long as the wheel was sealed with integrity during reassembly, and the bolts slowly brought up to torque with some care, that there's no reason not to do this myself? i'm not trying to be a cheap bastard here, just looking for a project.

I rebuild my 3pc lightweight racing wheels on a regular basis per the recommendation of the mfr. The bolts/nuts are replaced with new ones and I use silicone RTV to seal them during reassembly, after a thorough cleaning of the old sealant. Proper torque on the bolts is critical. I use a small torque wrench for better accuracy and do them in three increments, up to 15 ft-lbs final.
