Mgrene Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Evening Folks. I am getting my alloy's polished by a local guy and he asked me to remove the innerpart of the alloy, which will make it easier for him to do the polish. My question is as follows: Is it okay to remove the innerpart with the tyres still mounted? Or would the removal of the inner part affect the "strenght" of the alloy?

listy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 No. Get the tyre removed first. Don't ask me why, it's just what I've always been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It'll be fine...you need to deflate the tyres before moving the centres though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris88 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I would have the tyres off first. Mainly because I would be worried about the affect of the levers and clamps used by the tyre fitters if they just had the rim with no centre.
