Disassembling the wheels
The wheels can be removed without disassembling the brake
system. Remove the wheel spat retaining screws and withdraw the
fairing upward (if fitted). Hoist the aircraft using a jack placed
beneath the wheel axle bracket plate. Release and remove the
wheel nut and the securing washer (discard washer). Release the
brake hose retaining clamp and withdraw the whole wheel/brake
assembly from the wheel axle. Remove the three brake disc fixing
screws for separating brake system from wheel (not applicable with
the REMOS Brake System installed).
Disassembling the brakes – See above.
Assembling brakes and wheels
Assembling is carried out in reverse order. After assembling check
thoroughly, for sufficient space between brake hose and tire, check
that the torque bolt has engaged to it’s retaining bolt at the axle
bracket plate. Use a new securing washer and reassemble the wheel
nut. If necessary bleed the brake system using the bleed valve.
Install the wheel fairing (if desired), using Loctite 243 for securing all
fixing screws.
