Resealing Split rims

Featured Replies

Does anyone know what sort of sealent I should use to seal split rims wheels. I am going to split my rims today. Theres a pdf document on google about rebuilding split rims and using silicone acetate sealent.

Any ideas where I can buy this from?

go down the local B+Q and check the labels on the tubes of sealant there , there may be some that have silicon acetate in them , worth a try anyway

Once the rims were removed there are 2 gaskets either side of the centre piece which are in good condition and just need cleaning up, below is a pic.
