Yes, it is! The centrelocks are seperated as shown by Savy above, they are cleaned and regreased as per the procedure outlined in the thread you have linked too... Please note that the washer they refer to is made of metal and usually sticks to the centrelock shell but can easily be pried out with a small screwdriver or similar... Just be gentle so as to not bend it and follow the greasing procedure...

After reading through all of these great (but disturbing) threads on the CL issue, and being on the wait list for a 991 GT3, I can only hope Porsche comes to their senses and offers a 5 bolt hub on the new car. Potential customer here; anyone at Porsche listening........?

I usually do clean them up with some turpentine or similar. When they get hot, the grease base evaporates leaving behind the zinc metal which is the antiseaze... This won't come off with just wiping... Ideally you should be able to see the metal surfaces. I find that just wiping them smears the grease but doesn't remove it...

So just curious, my painter got just a little overspray on the back set of my track wheels. I have wiped clean to the best of my ability. Should I be worried about that?? The wheel fits fine and torques down on, it has not been loose upon removal??
Now I am scared.

Kidding aside, I don't think the tolerances are THAT tight. If it's a full coat of paint that coat will probably rub off over time, but overspray should be no problem.
