1. Description (Figure 1)
A. This split-type nose wheel is for use with a tubeless tyre. Two
aluminium alloy half hubs each installed with a bearing, seal and
circlip are attached together by ten nuts and bolts. A sealing ring
makes a pneumatic seal between the half hubs. Installed in the valve-
side half hub is an inflation valve assembly and a pressure gauge.
Page 1
CO: 8858
2. Leading Particulars
NOTES: 1. All wheels are given a serial number, part number and Mod. state number.
Each half hub has its own serial number, part number and issue number, and
an area to record tyre changes.
2. Keep a history card for each wheel to record half hub and wheel assembly
data. Write down maintenance data specially those related to modifications or
replacement of half hubs, on the history card.
3. When an unserviceable half hub is replaced with a new one, transfer the wheel
assembly identification and other details to the new half hub as given in
Assembly paragraph 2.E.
Page 2
32-44-37
CO: 8858
2. General
A. After all maintenance tasks which involve tire deflation, you must do a pressure test of the
wheel and tire assembly, do either:
The duration pressure test (recommended method) (Ref. Para 5.B.), or the immersion test
(alternative method, for use when time available prevents the completion of the duration
pressure test) (Ref. Para 5.C.).
B. Pressure and temperature are related. A decrease in temperature causes the pressure to
decrease. When you find (from measurements taken at the start and end of the test) a
decrease in pressure during a leak test make an allowance for the change in ambient
temperature and the decrease in pressure due to the use of a pressure gauge. A
temperature change of 3 deg.C / 5 deg.F causes a pressure change of
approximately 1%.

A. For information on Awl venting refer to the applicable tire manufacturer’s manual.
4. Acceptance Tests
A. If it is necessary to test new or serviceable wheel and tire assemblies removed from
store, do the Bench/Shop Tests as Para 5.A, 5.B and 5.C.
(1) Examine the tire for damage (Ref. DM1172 for Tubeless Tires or the applicable tire
manufacturer’s manual). If the tire has a flat spot, or is unserviceable because of
possible out-of balance, then do a balance check of the wheel and tire assembly
(Repair No. 5).
(2) Examine the wheel assembly for damage and corrosion. Make sure that:
- The bearings are serviceable (Ref. Standard Practices Manual 32-49-99)
- The glass of the pressure gauge is not broken.
(3) Make sure that all parts of the wheel assembly are installed (Ref. Illustrated Parts
List). If a tie bolt or nut is not installed or a tie bolt broken, then:
(a) If one nut is not installed then remove and discard the adjacent nuts and
bolts (one each side of). Replace the removed nuts and bolts
(Ref. Assembly).
(b) If two or more nuts are not installed, then remove and discard all of the set of
nuts and bolts. Replace the set of nuts and bolts (Ref. Assembly).
(c) If one bolt is broken then remove and discard the adjacent nuts and bolts
(d) If two or more bolts are broken, then remove and discard all of the set of nuts
and bolts. Replace the removed nuts and bolts (Ref. Assembly).
B. Duration Pressure Test
(1) Use the hand inflation set (Tool No.10) to set the pressure in the tire to the pressure
specified in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
(2) Check for leakage from the inflation valve with the valve cap removed. Check for
leakage in the vicinity of the tire seats, wheel sealing area, pressure gauge and the
wheel hubs.
Page 102
32-44-37
CO: 8858
(3) Do the duration pressure test procedure in accordance with the applicable tire
manufacturer’s instructions.
C. Immersion Test
(2) Wait for 20 minutes, then with the valve cap removed, make sure that there is no
leakage from the inflation valve.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE NOT PUT IN THE
WATER OR SPLASHED WITH WATER.
(3) Install the assembled wheel and tire on a suitable mandrel over a tank of water
(Ref. Figure 101). Make sure that when the wheel is rotated, the tire, tire seats,
pressure gauge and valve assembly can be put into the water.
(4) Rotate the wheel slowly, look for leaks from the half hub seal area, pressure gauge,
inflation valve, and from the wheel hubs.
(6) To prevent corrosion use a jet of low pressure warm air to completely dry the wheel
and tire assembly.

3. Removal of Protective Treatment
A. Procedure Selection
(1) Procedures used to remove paint protection can cause damage to the metal of the
half hub. Removal procedures permitted by Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (in the
order of preference) for the half hub of aluminium alloy are:
Order of Ref.
Procedure Comments
Preference (para)
NOTE: Localised removal by dressing must be done after consultation with the
MABS Laboratory.
(2) The cause to do paint removal, the shape of area and the type of half hub can all
effect which procedure you use. This repair does not give the full instructions for
paint removal. Procedures included are:
- Plastic bead blast
- Paint stripper and peachstone blast
- Localised removal by dressing.
(3) Immersion in solvent based paint removers for long periods can decrease the
fatigue resistance of a metal half hub and thus, immersion time should be kept to a
minimum.
(4) Blasting a surface for long periods can cause some damage to any surface
treatments, thus blasting times must be kept to a minimum.
B. Paint Removal Procedures
(a) The plastic media must meet the requirements of MIL-P-85891 (Type I or II)
and have a maximum hardness of 3.5 MOH or 62 Barcol.
Repair No. 3
Page 604
32-44-37
CO: 8858
(b) The plastic media must have a size of US screen 20 to 40 mesh (0.033 to
0.017 in. or 841 to 400 µm).
(c) Blasting parameters are dependent on the hardness of the plastic media
used for paint removal. Plastic bead blast as per para 1 or 2 described below:
(d) The blasting time must be restricted to the minimum required to remove the
paint. Excessive blasting can damage or remove the protective surface
pre-treatment or cause damage to the underlying metal.
