Default Dis-assembling Porsche/BBS Sport Design 2 piece wheels

Does anyone here have experience at dis-assembling and re-assembling these Porsche Sport Design 2 piece wheels made by BBS? It appears they take an 8 mm 12 point tool (which I have), but are there any tricks in how to remove these titanium (I think) bolts, and to re-assemble after the two pieces are re-finished? THANKS for any help and experience.

You'll need new seals and metal spacer that holds the seals in place and an inch/lb torque wrench.

BBS has always sent me new bolts also, not sure why.

Gary - The previous owner of my car, "turbochad" (on the board), did this. Send him a PM, he's a nice guy and I'm sure he would give you any tips from his experience.
