    Default Taking apart 3 piece rims.

    What do people use to reseal the rim?

    Can I just tighten the nuts when a allen key/spanner or will I need a torque wrench etc?

    Any more info I should know?

    Thanks,
    marvis.

    You can use silicon.

    i used blue selastic...you know that blue gasket making junk...

    just run a line on the inside edge before you bolt it together...(same as with a diff)...or you can just run a thick bead around the join on the inside of the rim (where the tire will fit over)

    works fine
