BBS RC090: Centers don't seperate from the beds

[kosso_olli]

Hey guys,
I am currently rebuilding my BBS RC035 and RC039 (similar to RC090, only wider) for my E32. I removed the nuts and got rid of all the bolts, but I cannot seperate the centers from the beds. Is there a trick to make it work? I ran out of ideas, as I don't want to use brute force.

Thanks man, I lol'd hard!

Do I beat the center? Or the rim at the side, like this guy does? http://www.show-and-shine.at/tuningl...ilig/bild3.jpg

I have a kerosene torpedo heater, I placed the wheels in front of that and spun them to get it hot. Wear gloves and then beat the center out with a hammer.

Sorry mate, I can't see what's going on there. I definately can not just push the center out with my bare hands.

Dude, place the rim on th floor, face upwards, get two blocks of wood, place one under the face,
one ontop and hit that shit...

The vid was surposed to show you that only the face is removable...

Alright, but I already knew that. Will try again tomorrow with wood and a big hammer.

Karate kick works just as well

Please use a block of wood or a dead blow/soft face hammer.

2nd on block of wood. 6x6" best. the wood will take the blow and provide enough force to pop it out without needing to do anything else to it

Tried it today. I got three of the centers out with a large piece of wood and a hammer. However, one of the centers from the front wheels didn't pop out, no matter how hard I tried The center from the other front wheel is heavily corroded from winter use of the last owner. So I suppose it is jammed. Drenched it in rust solvent, will try again tomorrow. Wish me luck...
