Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Most wheel shops will use clear typ2 silicone on the joint , just from the inside of the joint after it is back togather, but do a perfect job so there is no leak, the normal torque for 5 or 6 mm bolts should be about 90 inch lbs, you have to convert it to ft lbs ( I think 12 to 17 lbs, I cant remember)

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone here ever taken their 3-piece wheels apart to powder coat? There is a silicon gasket that seals the outer lip and inner hoop together. Does this need to be removed or can it withstand the heat from the powder coating process? Once the hardware is removed from the rim is there a particular torque spec. required to reassemble?

POST 2Original post

It would be prefered to disassemble and powdercoat each piece as needed. Do not powdercoat the areas thas come in contact with each other as they are usually a machined fit. Punch mark or scribe where pieces join before disassembly. Use threadlocker upon reassembly, don't over torque. Use general torque specs for the bolt size and thread and material. I'd remove the silicone bead and reapply a new bead upon reassembly, as well as a small bead glueing the pieces together.

POST 3Original post

they need to be taken apart, a powdercoater will sand blast, or blast with something and coat them. you can reassemble them . Most wheel shops will use clear typ2 silicone on the joint , just from the inside of the joint after it is back togather, but do a perfect job so there is no leak, the normal torque for 5 or 6 mm bolts should be about 90 inch lbs, you have to convert it to ft lbs ( I think 12 to 17 lbs, I cant remember)

POST 4Original post

I've done 2 sets of 3-piece wheels I've owned already... a set of HRE 840R and a set of DPE S-20. Which part of the wheel are you powdercoating? If it's just the face (center) then there is a trick where you don't even have to uninstall the tires and cut the seal. I can give you details of how to do it if this is your path.
