Hi guys,

Over the winter months I plan to give my HREs a freshen up and maybe change the colour of the centres completely, but as I've never had them apart before, I wondered how hard they are to split? I only need the faces off and wondered if it was possible to do this with the tyres still in place? Will there also be sealant behind the faces? If anyone could enlighten me in the ways of split rims, I'd be very greatful!

Cheers,

Matt

Tyres will have to come off. Its easy but takes alot of time and patience. Once all the bolts are off you may need to heat up the silicone to help them come apart. Mark each pieces position as sometimes they dont balance properly is not the same place. When putting them back together make sure the surfaces are very smooth and clean
