As long as the time is taken to do it properly split rims can be dismantled, refurbed and then re-built easy enough. This is the 3rd set that ive done.
Must be said 2 piece are much easier then 3 piece tho!

I will be rebuilding my 3 pience fronts (the rears are just fine) for the second time, with new bolts and OEM sealant, soon......
anyhow, don't think HRE have the best seal seat (bad workman and all that!).....
Did the HREs on the front leak air the first time round?
If so, as youve said most likley issue is a poor seal through poor application of sealant or crap sealant
They stayed sealed for a week before we went on the trip to Spa, and lasted all the way to the track.....then let me down (pun intended) before I even got on track!
Probably me being too parsimonious with the sealant allied to the slim sealing area......but I prefer your reason!
Good luck with take 2 bud!
If you get stuck I know a company who could re-seal for you for not too much.
