Truing wheels, tyre selection and balancing
hairygit:
Not if it pulls on the inner race, the bearings will suffer if you try, and will almost certainly fail prematurely if you re fit them. Sorry, but that's the way bearings are, the wheel bearings are not designed for sideways load.

Given the cost of bearings (about £6 a piece), false economy not to replace them into..

I have a new set of sealed bearings to go in, but the old ones are already out and i need a set in the wheels to get them trued and balanced.
Have managed to find the old ones so will press them back in. might even leave them in for powder coating and then replace them to make sure no powder coat goes inside the hubs

If you are really lucky and heat the hub enough but not too much then the bearing might come out really easily. On the other hand if you are not lucky the heat from powdercoat might distort the trued up wheel. Cannot say I have ever tried anything around powdercoating but I have a feeling that painting the whole lot up in 1 lump is going to end up being a false economy over painting each part and assembling. Given it's a cosmetic process I would be most worried about the paint cracking, chipping or flaking once in use at each point parts meet, let alone the disheartening effect if a spoke does need tightening after it's powdercoated together. Would work out more expensive if it all needs to come appart and be 're done. If I were just spray painting it I would risk it, less to loose.

fair comment and this was the original route i was going to go down. However after contacting a couple of companies and getting it priced up off the top of my head it was going to cost £400+ to have the hubs and rims powder coated and relacld with black spokes which i felt was outrageous.
If anyone can point me in the right direction of some black spokes for a reasonable cost then perhaps i can lace them myself and then get a pro to just true the wheel for me
EDIT: just looked through my emails and central wheels were going to charge m £350 per wheel! Devon rim company was unwilling to use any parts provided by me so wanted to use brand new rims and hubs.
David silver supplies spoke sets for £35 each inc nipples, although these are in silver. the only place I've found black spokes available is through central wheels which are £101 per set, with another £19 per wheel for the nipples. Id love black spokes but that really is too much.
