I would like to remove and refinish the silver ring in the pic below. Is it simply a matter or removing the 3 screws and taking it off, or are there internal components that will come out with/attached to it? Will fluid leak out? Do I need to replace a seal when reassembling?

Old paint sanded down and cleaned up This hub was easy to turn This one was harder to turn due to minor corrosion inside Ready for primer and paint Finished product!
So the hub comes out easy enough and seems like there was some sort of thin plastic gasket where it mate's to the axle. This plastic doesn't seal well and allowed some minor corrosion to start behind the hub. The gear teeth themselves have grease on them and were still in excellent condition. On reassembly I decided to put a very thin smear of rtv silicone in place of the "gasket" to help keep moisture out.
The hardest part was separating the outer ***** from the inner gears of the hub... Wasn't actually hard, just took a few extra minutes to release all the fingers holding them together.
