Help With removing Centers: BBS RS

[crunk3]

Ive looked on vortex and a few other placed for tips on removing the center Part off the barrel on BBS RS.
Tried hitting it with a rubber mallet, Put them in the oven for a bit, WD-40
Still the centers will not separate from the barrel
Any Tips?

Got plastic/wooden wedge?

maybe u have a set of RM's? hehehe

[crunk3]

They are rs's I'm positive, One of them is already disassembled and sandblasted
And they say RS on the rims and the weave goes onto the center cap not like rm's where it's circles on the center cap.

Oh, you have to unbolt it. :crazy:
LOL
Yeah the bolts are out, the lip is off, it's just the center that's stuck to the barrel.

I'm thinking you have to heat them up in the oven to loosen them up?

Used a rubber mallet on mine. They have seals that tend to bond the haves together as well as oxidation.

Yeah I placed one in the oven for 5 min at 400 degrees. Then took it out and tired to hit the center out with a rubber mallet from the inside so the center pops out. Still didn't work. Then i sprayed a can of dw40 along the seal and still no luck.

Any updates?

You may want to try a hair dryer/ mallet combo. I think it's safe to say that they have never been taken apart.

I gave up and took them to the Place thats sandblasting them so they are probably apart now
