    Image Unavailable, Please Login The center section of this center lock came off. Can it be reinstalled and if so how? I’m thinking with a press and probably a special adapter to press on the piece in the proper spot.

    I am pretty sure that those centers were originally soldered in place in the knock-off and then chrome plated afterwards.
    To do a proper repair, you would have to have the chrome stripped off of both pieces, solder the center to the knock-off, and then have the knock-off re-chromed.
    Otherwise some JB weld and careful pressing back in place would probably work just fine.
