taking apart leons

hi guys,

im trying to take apart my leon hardiritt bugels and clean up the face and in between the face and barrels. so i removed all the bolts, shouldnt it just come off? anyone take leons apart b4? do i have to break the seal just to remove the face?

update: well turns out they are welded...

why is there sealant when its not splittable??

Common sense but don't forget to mask off around the silicone so you don't scratch the rims

i've taken apart bugel and orden before and they come right off after the rivets are removed, just gotta tap it lightly from the back side with like a piece of wood or something.
