2009 M Spindle...Powder Coating?

I knew the previous M spindles could be disassembled to be powder coated, but they have changed the spindle in 09, so my question is,

Can they still come apart to be powder coated?

And if they cant, my next question is, could I just do them with the compenents in there? the reason I ask this is because they had to powder coat it in the factory with everything in there if it is not able to be disassembled, right?

Thanks in advance
 
cant take em apart.

but take the zirks off and try to wash out as mutch lube as you can ,, maybe some degreeser ,, then bake them at 350-400 for a few hours ,, rinse and repeat until nothing comes out
 
hmmmmm....

i just took apart my front end today, got the spindles stripped down, removed all bushings and damn these things are packed with grease, removed zirk fittings and found some bolts to plug up these holes...now im worried about getting the grease out that will for sure leak during the bake process of the p-coating....damn! mabye i should take a torch to it and hope all the grease washes out? and chase it with carb cleaner??...these spindles are silly
 
got her done, blow some shap air in the zert hole for half a minute, spray some carb cleaner in the hole, so blast some more shop air in the whole....do this over and over until the grease stops coming out:beer;
 
Yes, just make sure they are as clean as possible because the grease will bake out when they powdercoat it. Make sure they plug the zerk holes and then grease heavily the first couple time you use them after coating.
