CCW Three Piece Wheels

[Jack Evers]

My son and I are trailering our cars to Carlsbad this weekend. He's got a set of new CCW wheels with 5" skinnies on the front and 10.5" rear wheels with Mickey's. In attempting to install the rear wheels he discovered backspacing problems and has a new set of wheel centers being fed exed in tomorrow. Is there any trick to installing new wheel centers in three piece wheels or do we just unbolt the old centers and bolt in the new. Any way we can screw this project up?

Would think you would want to have some red Loctite handy?

Torque wrench, Nick?

You will need to use some sort of sealer to seal the 3 pieces together to make them air tight. Clear RTV silicone. Use blue threadlocker, it is removable. The red needs to be heated to 450 degrees to remove it. I used to work for Loctite, use the blue.
