I have a set of IRO hubs that are black. I changed my mind, I now want them in silver. That basically means tearing apart my wheels and taking the hubs down to the local polisher and anodizer shops (strip, polish, re-anodize). I already did this with my Miche seatpost and it looks pimp.

Has anyone taken them apart? How hard is it, and does it require special tools? When I'm done, can I re-use my old spokes, or is it time to give 'em up for toast and get different ones to re-build the wheel?

Oh yeah, is this even advisable? Any weird problems I'll cause? Thanks...
