I'd like your opinions, please. The wheel I'm using is from an 84 Virago and is shaft driven. As you can see in the pic, the studs that bolt the wheel's drive hub on are pressed in to the wheel and contain rubber. Ideally, of course, I would press them out before dropping it off at the powder coater. But I know i'm going to damage at least one coming out though...because it's me. And there are no new/NOS replacements for them.
Do I just leave them in? Sure, the rubber might leech a bit, but as you can see it will only leech onto surfaces that aren't being coated anyway. Sure, the rubber might stiffen up, but it's not a joint so I'm not sure it'll matter.
