Yes, reseal with silicon sealant. I have use window and door sealant with good success. I used the GE silicone II window and soor sealant, found in HomeDepot or Lowes.

lowenharts inner barrels and outer lips are welded together (effectively a 2 piece wheel) so don't worry about sealing. unbolt the face, do your thing, reassemble, and torque.

Don't forget to find out what TORQUE to set the assembly hardware to.

It will depend on the type of fasteners; consult the manufacturer!!! This is important!
