Ok guys I tried searching for this but either my key word search was wrong or it hasn't been covered.. Which I find hard to believe... Yes I tried it using just 3 piece wheel too.... Lol So my question is this.. Does anyone have any experience with assembly and re assembly of SSR wheels? Im going to be getting my new set powder coated, and I am guessing I'm going to need to disassemble and resemble myself. So I've seen a lot of articles on different forums saying you should replace the hardware re seal etc etc. So I wanted to know if new hardware is necessary, and if so where I can get it. What kind of sealant to use and where to use it, ie mating service joint etc? Also a torque value would be appreciated as well.

Some people seem to hold the opinion of disassembling only as a last resort, due to it being such a pita and the margin for error. So any experience you can share would be appreciated as well. Basically I would like to know if this is something I can and should take myself to save some money, or is it better left to professionals. I am a naval mechanic by trade so I am mechanically inclined, just concerned about taking apart $3k wheels and not having them go back together lol
