        Anyone re-assemble multipiece wheels?

        Couldn't find much in search. I am wondering if anyone has taken apart and re-assembled 2- or 3-piece wheels? Is there a typical torque value to tighten the wheel bolts? Is threadlocker necessary?

        Thanks.

        It is almost impossible to find a torque value for the bolts. I just redid one of mine and I had found a post somewhere stating that it was 40 ft.lbs.! That seemed a bit much and I didn't want to snap any. So, being that i was reusing the bolts I torqued them to 30 w/red loctite.

        If you do it yourself make sure you know enough not to end up with a leaker!

        I'm looking at disassembling a 2-piece wheel, so leaks shouldn't be an issue. Thanks.

        Just curious why not use Blue Loctite 243 that is "breakable".
