I hope you don't call that hammer pictured a rubber mallet 
Yeah, the outer and inner barrels are the other 2 pieces...
Usually there's a nice thick layer of silicon that lines the 2 pieces. Do you have the torque settings for when you put it back together? I've always wondered if there is a certain amount of pressure needed or just hand tight would do the job?

i have also heard that when you take a multi-piece wheel apart, the studs should be replaced too. Aparently the stress from tightening and untightening could make the studs weak.
