    ive done some pretty much the same

    get a rubber mallet and flog the shit out of it and itll pop

    putting it back in is trickier cause you have to get it perfectly straight

    use 4 opposite bolts to pull it in even

    what about welded 3 piece??

    can you get the welded part machined off so they can be separated?

    I used a lump of timber on end and large hammer on the floor to separate my 2 piece SSR Meshies, quite a mission as they were very tight.

    I believe the "3" piece welded which is pretty much a 2 piece wheel can be machined/grinded and then separated. This is the process performed when wheels are "widened" when a wider outer section is then welded on.

    i just put them in one buy one and pulled the mesh in, i didnt do the bolts up all the way because it wouldn't work. I put one in far enough so I could thread the next one to it, then went around and did that until all were super tight. I took me about an hour a wheel......sober saturday 7am mornings FTW!!!

    if you want to reverse them you just put them in backwards, and do exactly the same?
    or can you only reverse certain rims?

    nah man if your thinkin bout gettin positive offset mesh cheap and flipping them to get massive negative offset its not a good idea as other people will tell you. The rim of the wheel would be set up for a specific offset and if you totally reversed it, it would put massive strain on not only the rim, but also your stud bolts. Fuk buyin cheap pos offset, save some cash like me and buy neg
