I'd like to add some corrosion protection to my wheel bearings assemblies before they go back on.

The plan was to plate or metal spray any areas requiring metal-to-metal interfaces (bearing plate to upright, wheelhub to rim etc) then POR15 the other parts.

This would be easier if I could disassemble the rotor and stator and remove the bearings. Does anyone know if the hub is a sealed assembly or whether is can be disassembled. If it can, any advice on the best process.

It is a sealed unit and can't be disassembled. They are Jeep Grand Cherokee hubs which are readily available for a fraction of the price that TVR specialists charge for them!
