So personally, unless it's a matter of a broken rim and a
brand new set of tires I find it easier to just buy a new set --- salavaging used
anything is hardly worth the time or the effort.
We do it because we want worn out pins with fresh foams inside. At our track we run Pink Tapers and you need about 3 or 4 different pin heights for the changing conditions. More dust=more pin, when it is wet and tacky we almost run slicks or very worn pins. When you stuff new foams in the worn out tires they are DIALED! Blown out foams=no traction.
