| If I recall, undoing all the bolts (the 31 that are left) should mean the centre pops out. I'll deflate the tyre first so it doesn't burst the silicone that is inside the rim as to be fair, I've had no leakage problems since resealing it myself. I'll then be able to clean out all the threaded inserts (which have a lot of silicone in them) and get better access to the sheared fasteners, which hopefully won't be in too tight). I'll then reassemble with new bolts and threadlock them all in.
Anyone know if there is a specific torque to use?
Also, I'm not impressed with the star washers - many of them have broken. Would normal spring washers be better?
