Damn!! GT-30's are hard to take apart!!!
I unscrewed all the screws and it seems virtually impossible to take off the face of the wheel!!! Haha, I almost broke my hand off trying to take the first wheel off, now need to do the front wheel which doesn't budge when I tug on it!
Here's a picture of the progress at least.... lol (On the plus side... it's VERY easy to clean the lips this way!!
)
...meh it's progress

BE CAREFUL torquing them back.
& u make sure u use some lock-tite when re-assembling.
I snapped a couple bolts and since you cannot order these bolts i had to improvise...
IIRC ~ 13lbs should be enough for those small bolts.
GL & post up some finished pics.
Btw what are you doing to them?

For all those who asked why he's doing this:
The powder coat guy who resprayed the barrels f@cked up big time and reassembled his rear wheel face on the front barrel and vice versa.. Due to that mistake it messed up the offsets so he was not able to clear his Akebono brakes. He is trying to get his offsets back to 35/37 like theyre supposed to be.

Hey Johnny, if this goes well for you. I'll probably take mine apart too and get a refresh on the phantoms.

Would you paint it yourself man? I would just get it powdercoated, but idk lol haha cause you see the situation I'm in hahaha.
Tomie - I'm going to torque it at around 20lb/ft I think, because alshubcaps (reputable on g35nyc.com) torqued them at 30lbs/ft. So, maybe 25 might even be OK .
Hey Kev, thanks for clearing it up for me!! Lol... I was at work all day couldn't respond
. Hopefully the project is done today so I can finally drive this damn car!!!!!!I've been driving my stupid sisters mazda 3
