Default Splitting Split Rims

Is there any techiquie to seperating them?

I.e can you take them apart without getting the tyre removed, but obviously letting the pressure out of the tyre.


Cheers

2 should just split with a gentle tap from a soft headed mallet.
3 piece will need the tyre removed i would think.
i need to do mine soon just make sure you have the correct torque settings and use thread lock when you re assemble.

I've just taken the centre out of one, that was easy.

so in theory the inner and outer should just pull out now?

Think the gasket might just be holding them together
