I just recently bought a set of used Volk Racing AV3 wheels, the set looked pretty beat up so I decided to refinish them myself. I decided to separate the Hub & Barrel to make the refinishing process alot easier, by removing the 24 wheel bolts in a criss-cross pattern. Now, my problem is, all the bolts where removed from the wheels but the Hub is still frozen to the Barrel for some reason. I can't separate them by hand. Is there a way to separate them without risk damaging the wheels? Is there any toutoritals on this board that I missed? I tried searching but I couldn't find anything...

Thanks, any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!

 

They are also sealed with a silicone bead are they not...I would recomend trying to seperate them with a fiberstick, its a nylon stick that is really hard but wont do any damage...You can get them from most any glass shop
