I just did a friend of mines two weeks ago. I used gray RTV. How long did you let them sit after you put them back together?

I pulled them apart and sanded all the old sealant off. Put a small bead on the front and back of the face of the wheel. Then when I tightened the bolts I did all the bolts directly across from the other until they were all tight. Use blue thread lock on the bolts also. After they were all hand tight torque them to 25 ft. lbs. Then I put a bead of RTV where the barrels meet and ran my finger abound the wheel to cover everything up.

After I put them through the wheel yes. Read this, it's where I read to do it.
