Fantastic PM sent :)
Heating with heat gun is also supposed to help :)
Put it in the oven on a low heat for an hour, or in the blazing sun.
You need to soften the rubber sealant efore you can separate the two pieces.
Use a heat gun to soften up the sealant and then a razor blade to cut around the outer rim through the sealant. Then use a rubber mallet. Don’t be afraid to give them a real good whack and once they start to budge, you’ll be able to get them off ;)
four wheels apart facures need to come off have heated goten rid of sealant and wacked with mallet till blue in the face will try oven treatment but what about the paint? william
Well as William explained (posted on my logon) today I had a small update today Willian came over and gave me a hand we managed to get take apart the other 3 wheels but can't get the centre parts off used the heat gun and hit it hard! Still nothing will try harder tomorrow and pics on Tuesday :)
hey steve! sorry if you've stated earlier, but what sizes are your new hoops? should be shwwweet as after a resto! :cool:
Small Update :)
On the weekend I attempted to take apart the wheels, and failed misserably lol. On Sunday William came along and gave me a hand with taking the wheels apart we managed to get 3 of the 4 wheels apart the 4th I have decided to leave the wheel together so I can test it out on the car to see what it will look like (and also cause I am lazy :D) Pics to follow.
Also I have hit a small wall and can't decide what to do:? I have been talking about a Samco Hose kit (Red) to be fitted to the car, and now I am having second thoughts about this as I can't decide whether or not I want to go with it:(
The coloue scheme is what I would be thinking is Red hose kit with red leads and also red lettering of the word SCHRICK.
However at the moment I just am having second thoughts and thinking of going all black! Which means keeping the stock hoses as they are black and powdercoating the schrick, throttle body and the lower inlet manifold gloss black to keep with the rest of the engine bay and then painting the letters SCHRICK in white! The car ha a theme of black and white but I can't seem to think of which path to take :(
Thats why I would like to ask the members of this forum there thoughts, anyone :)
Steve
