Modular Wheel Inspection and Maintenance

Two & Three piece modular wheels require periodic maintenance. You'll want to work out your own maintenance schedule, but here's an example of what the manufacturer recommends.
Each Season disassemble, thoroughly inspect, clean, re-seal, and re-torque each wheel:
Replace wheel bolts each season
Wheel Bolt Torque:
1/4" bolts 15 ft/lbs. or 180 in./lbs
5/16" bolts 20 ft/lbs.
After thoroughly cleaning all mating surfaces with an appropriate cleaner, add a thin skim coat of silicone sealant to these surfaces, assemble wheel and torque bolts to recommended torque
Install a new valve stem
Add a thick coat of silicone sealant to the drop center area of the wheel and let it cure for 24 hours before initial use

**Dirty Octopus™** · 10-15-2007, 09:04 AM

dammit Mike you're great!

you must charge an arm and a leg. especially for those bolts!

I would polish my bolts but i may just get new set of gold dipped bolts.

how much did everything come up to? for labor that is?

i gotta get my lips polished ASAP.

**The BUCKY** · 10-15-2007, 09:31 AM

****ing WORD. It's not about being so patient and doing it right.. it's about knowing that your signature is on the work and you want your best represented.
