UPS is union. If there mechanics also get union benefits then do that. I’m 29 and a union crane operator.

I’m not reading the entire thread but if you believe this is some terrorist attack like the retards on Facebook do then please do not reproduce. You also probably think the earth is flat.

Can’t do much more than that. How old are the wheels?

Depends on what you want to do in life. Getting a degree just to get it is really dumb IMO. Unless you love school style learning which I personally hate with a passion. Degrees don’t hold their weight like they used to. I know a lot of people in the IT space and none of them have degrees.

I definitely wouldn’t weld it.

It’s more about assault/harassment allegations that scare me. I personally know people who have lost jobs and had their lives ruined by false allegations a women made.

Its possible CCW has probably updated their design in recent years. I resealed mine 6 years ago and they were older wheels. I can’t remember but I’m 80% sure it was CCW who gave me instructions on how to reseal it

All I did was silicone first, then assemble the wheel together and torque it down then smooth out the silicone that got squeezed out of the sides with my finger

I’ll look in my garage to see if I still have the tube somewhere. I do know it wasn’t the Dow brand

This video is pretty close to how I assembled my wheels.

I don’t know what the exact state of your wheel is in, but if it were me I would break it down til it looks like the picture I posted. Split the barrel and clean off any and all silicone and reseal it. The silicone goes in between the 2 halves of the barrel. There should be no silicone touching...

Ahhh.. give it a shot. But, mostly likely tire has to come off

No problem. Remember to check for air bubbles in the silicone before putting a tire on. If there’s a bubble the air will blow right through it. It happened to me my first go around.

I don’t remember the spec off the top of my head. And I do remember doing a star pattern

I bet your issue is there wasn’t enough silicone. Put some in the same pattern as you can see in my professional drawing. As I stated before, once you squish the 2 pieces together the silicone will squeeze out of the sides and you just have to run a finger around the wheel to smooth/seal it up...
