Compomotive spit rims leaking

Asd the title says... do I need to dismantle the rims and apply sealer between outer and inners or can I get away with just applying sealer without taking apart the rims?

If I do take them apart anyone know what torque the bolts need to be tightened to?

May be wrong, but don't you normaly have to use tubes with split rims. Cheers Ray

you can just seal them by removing the old bits from around the inside with a good wire brush then resealing them with a good silicone done it before with my bbs wheels but there is a cheeper and easyer way.

buy this from ebay.

Thanks Guys, I'll give the sealer a go. I never knew about the tubes in split rims Chippy, I thought that tubes were a no-no in high performance tyres & rims.
