Aircraft wheel and brake change due to damage.

Aircraft wheel change that turned into something else.
This is a very rare occurrence and i don’t want you to panic. Please watch the video because I explain it all to you. Yes i know it’s a long video… and I’m sure most won’t sit through a 10 minute video.. but it’s here for all that DO want to understand what is going on.
All this turned out to be broken tie bolts that caused the wheel assembly and brake assembly to seize up and creat and overheat indication in the flight deck. Pilots only have very little information when it comes to wheels. Tire pressure (on some aircraft) brake temperature (most aircraft) and anti skid information (on modern aircraft). All this data still can’t tell them a locked brake has occurred. But they do know how to counter it and how the aircraft is handling on ground.
When the aircraft came in we investigated and found all this and corrected the issue.. yes it did take a 4 hour delay, but in the end it was dispatched safely due to the amazing work of my maintenance team.
Thank you for watching as always … We Fix You Fly 🤙

[@MDSsp251]

Amazing Video! Interesting to see 2 wheel tie bolts shearing together. We typically check to see if the right procedure(s) were used during wheel assembly (i.e. bolts tightened in a criss-cross pattern. Otherwise you run the risk of few tie bolts in a severely stressed condition). Checking to see the number of hubs and NDT inspection the bolts have gone through is also helpful in identifying if the probable cause is indeed the bolts. If wheel assembly procedures and time on the bolts are noted to be satisfactory, we may look somewhere else.

[@StigAviation]

This was quite interesting...and we were all a bit puzzled... but regardless of that we were happy to get it all fixed... we also submitted a safety report to the overhaul facility to see why this happened... hopefully this was just a fluke.

Then my health got in the way and ended my career but I miss it every day the bond you develop with your fellow mechanics can't be explained the road trips to retrieve broken plane at outstation and sometimes have to spend the night at the hotel where the crew stays also and get lucky with the flight attendant that likes to go out on the town of course it helps when you're not the first flight in the morning.

But I was not prepared to see the damage done to this wheel and break assembly, as well as the blown out tire on this one, wow! Hear I was asking myself, what caused this unfortunate disintegration? So it was a tie bolt in the split rim design, dang! I agree, whole new wheel assembly, break assembly, and tire required for this one! 200-PSI? Dang, thats a lot of pressure in those tires! Funny how the break pistons sound like cranking over an engine. I love how you give all those hearts of love. 💓 I've watched so many of your video's, and am learning so much.

Do you have to run any conditioning or bedding process with the new carbon discs or it just goes straight into normal service? Also from the video, not all the pistons actuate. Are only half the number of pistons used and the rest for redundancy? Thanks and nice video

[@StigAviation]

The new assembly can go straight on without and conditioning. All we do a bleed the brakes at the end (I didn’t get a chance to show that) the pistons are a 2 system redundancy. One set is for normal braking the alternating piston is for alternate braking (basically a back up system) which works on a separate hydraulic system just in case one fails.

[@TheStowAway594]

Do you have to rebleed the entire brake assembly, or is each wheel separate? Dang there's a lot pistons in that caliper, bet that wasn't a cheap. Thanks for showing the parts diagram it helps wrap my head around it. When I was younger my neighbor was killed working on a split wheel setup like that, but for heavy equipment. The pressure behind those Hydralic, pneumatic systems is scary when they fail. Anyway great job on the repair, stay safe.

[@StigAviation]

I did not have to re-bleed the entire system just that one break, it ties in to the rest of the system. I’m sorry I just didn’t get a chance to show you how we bleed the break. But yes, we do perform that action.
