WHEELS AND BRAKES (Cont.)
INSPECTION OF NOSE WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1. Visually check all parts for cracks, distortion, defects and excess wear.
2. Check tie bolts for looseness or failure.
3. Check internal diameter of felt grease seals. Replace felt grease seal if surface is hard or gritty.
4. Check tire for cuts, internal bruises and deterioration.
5. Check bearing cones and cups for wear and pitting and relubricate.
6. Replace any wheel casting having visible cracks.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF NOSE WHEEL
1. Ascertain that bearing cup for each wheel is properly installed. Install tire with tube on wheel halfwith
valve stem hole and then join two wheel halves. Install through bolts with washers andnuts to valve
stem side
– NOTE –
On aircraft models which use Cleveland Wheel Assembly
torque nuts to 90 inch-pounds. Those aircraft models which
use McCauley Wheel Assembly torque nuts to 140-150 inch-
pounds.
– NOTE –
On McCauley Nose Wheel Assemblies only, bushing is
required to prevent tube movement.
2. Lubricate bearing cones and install cones, grease seals, felt rings and seal retainer rings. Securewith
snap rings.
3. Slide wheel on axle and secure with retainer nut. Tighten nut to allow no side play, yet allow wheelto
rotate freely. Safety nut with clevis pin and secure pin with washer and cotter pin.
MAIN WHEEL ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY OF MAIN WHEEL
1. Place airplane on jacks. (Refer to Jacking, Chapter 7.)
2. To remove main wheel, remove cap bolts that join brake cylinder housing and lining back plateassem-
blies. Remove back plate from between brake disc and wheel.
3. Remove dust cover, cotter pin and flat head pin that safeties wheel nut, and slide wheel fromaxle.
4. Wheel halves may be separated by first deflating tire. With tire sufficiently deflated, removewheel
through bolts. Pull wheel halves from tire by removing inner half from tire first, andthen outer half.
5. Wheel bearing assemblies may be removed from each wheel half by first removing retainer snaprings
that secure grease seal retainers, and then retainers, grease seals and bearing cone. Bearingcups should
not be removed only for replacement. See Repair of Nose and Main Wheel Assembliesfor bearing cup
replacement instructions.
