I know that when I had my wheel pro disassemble my BBS LMs, he noticed that they used Loctite for the bolts.

There is an exact torque and order of the bolts set by the manufacturer that you will have a tough time getting.

Once the process done, how much torque do I need to use when retorquing all those small bolt back in place ?

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I have the 3 piece http://www.iforged.com/v3/wheels_detail.php?WhID=1 aero wheel and I need to undo the wheel in order to get the lips (4inch wide) repolished. Now, I know I will have to unbolt all the bolts retaining the wheel center piece. Once the process done, how much torque do I need to use when retorquing all those small bolt back in place ? I think there is over 60 of them all around... Also, is there something I should be aware of or is it as simple as it seems to be like ? Thanks

POST 2Original post

This is something you do NOT want to do. There is an exact torque and order of the bolts set by the manufacturer that you will have a tough time getting. Why don't you have them polished with the wheels intact? I called many people a couple years ago when I wanted to get my sport designs (MkI GT3) wheels redone (painted and clearcoated) and NOBODY would break them apart. Instead, they just wanted to mask off the bolts.

POST 3Original post

Just call I-Forged, the make and assemble their own rims.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

calling Iforged is not considered, I cannot send the wheels back and forth, I live in canada and that cause a lot of trouble...

POST 5Original post

If you do it yourself the torque specs wont be a problem to get but sealing the rim back with what ever sealant wheel shops use is going to be the problem. If not sealed correctly your tires will leak air. I think in the US there's a shop called Wheels America that will do the work for you or just check the net for something in Canada.

POST 6Original post

This isn't brain surgery guys. You'll want new bolts and you need instructions from iForged on sealing the halves and torquing the bolts but then it's pretty straight forward. If you're not comfortable doing it any independent shop that does any racing will be glad to help out. Jim

POST 7Original post

I know that when I had my wheel pro disassemble my BBS LMs, he noticed that they used Loctite for the bolts. I would never disassemble wheels again. They actually have very expensive machines at the BBS factory that do this sort of thing, but with iForged wheels, who really cares? j/k I'd just have them do it or not do it at all. I know that it makes the job much more complete to disassemble wheels first. Good luck.
