        Great stuff, I am sure it will be fine, those bearings are really tough, made from some stupid hardened steel, and it does not take too much to pop them in and out, I seriously doubt you managed to damage it.

              Used paint stripper on the old finish,the red was a PITA.Polish the areas you want,mask and paint.Time consuming but worth the effort

                Nice Greg, those wheels are looking better than new, that grey/charcoal/black looks very similar to the colour that I put on my wheels, be interesting to know what it is?
