Default taking apart a 2pc wheel

ive never taken apart and refinished a 2pc or 3pc wheel.
i will be attempting this with a set of mahdi ceasars i recently purchased for my 240. is there anything i should be concerned of ?
any tips / suggestions about this ?

im taking them apart to repaint the centers, and re-polish and clear the outer portions

i can provide pic if necessary.

Just remember to re-torque to manufacturer specs.

Yeah I would contact the manufacturer. Some torque specs for 2pc are available from google, like Mugen MF5.. but I would want to make sure..

i use this chart..kinda confusing but just find the grade and material of the bolts and go from there..if the rim u have comes apart at the barrel then you need to re silicone it but if it just comes apart as 2 pieces (barrel and face ) then just re torque as needed
