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.

As I understand it...The bolts can only be used once and have to be replaced when the wheel is disassembled.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello Have not posted for a long time. Am about to attempt to split my GT3 alloys before taking them for powder coating. The powder coater won't split them. Am soaking the 12 point torx head bolts for a few days before attempting to undo them evenly/diagonally. The outer rims are delaminating and quite badly corroded - the inner (spoke) sections are like new. Has anyone done this and got any advice? Thanks Hugh

POST 2Original post

As I understand it...The bolts can only be used once and have to be replaced when the wheel is disassembled. Oh and they are not cheap.

POST 3Original post

It also says you shouldn't reuse brake calipers bolts etc. However, is this overkill and an attempt to ensure you always buy new wheels at a cost of over £2500 I think for the split rim gt3 wheels. I spoke to a local refurbishment company who told me they are more than happy to split them. I am looking to get mine done. However, I want to keep safe as this is my number one priority but does anyone else in the know, know what the truth is with regards to splitting these wheels or has anyone already done so, thanks
