Dear Packard friends,
The painting job is done and completed. Except the rims. I took the rims today to the Tire Shop for stripping so that the rims could then be processed and made them ready for painting. The surface looks lousy and it will take some work to get it to the condition that the other parts are now. The tire shop that is familiar with truck tires with snap rings first took into account the thin and delicate rings and whether they could be brittle due to age and the chrome layer. It is also important to consider whether the rings can be put back on without damaging the paint layer on the rim flanges. Unfortunately, I have never looked into these questions in detail myself. The finished painted rims were picked up in the USA and delivered back fully assembled. My request now to the community... who can give me information about what to pay attention to and how, for example, to get the rings back on the rims without damaging the paint. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any meaningful information on YouTube regarding the disassembly and assembly of these pre-war wheels with the smalThin snap rings. What tools I/theShop need absulutly to do this work right on this smal rings. I am grateful for any helpful informations. Karl

I would love to know how to fit those lock rings without any paint damage, I guess it can be done but whenever I had to do it I had to do some paint repair.

It's nearly impossible. To minimize damage (other than to be very very careful) put some layers of masking tape, or even duct tape on the exposed face just for some measure of protection
