I tried searching but having really found much. Im planning on getting my mag wheels powder coated. I'm looking for advice or a write up on breaking down the wheels.
Yup, bearings and seals have to come out.
The bearing and seal surface areas of the wheel should be taped off and not coated.
they will come out with a punch and hammer
Sorry man, but I couldn't get them that way, there is no surface to to place the punch on.
I layered some rubber oil line about 1" long that just fit inside the spacer tube between the bearings with a fender washer on each end. I then tightened the nut and bolt running through it until it crushed , spread and jammed solid in the spacer tube. I then used 2 extensions on the socket on the bolt for reach and hit it with my biggest hammer. The spacer acted as a punch and knocked the bearing right out. Even saved and reused the bearings, over 30,000 k's and counting on the job.
Except he has already ridden over 33,000 kilometers (20,000 miles). Seems those dented balls are working OK.
