How To Remove Your Cessna Wheel & Tire!

[@kristenb7380]

Nice video! Just one thing, always make sure you completely deflate your tire before removing that axle nut. Just wanted to mention that since it wasn't shown in the video :)

[@rcbif101]

Is that incase one of the rim bolts has failed? Or just a better time to do it so you dont forget?

[@kristenb7380]

@@rcbif101 because the wheels on planes like that are usually the split design, meaning there’s 2 halves to the wheel that you fasten together. So while removing the wheel/tire from the aircraft, if one of those fasteners were mistaken for the fasteners holding it to the axle hub, or if some of the bolts had failed, the tire pressure could cause it to burst apart and into you

@@rcbif101 You don't need to deflate. The bolts holding the wheel are strong enough UNLESS there is damage. Deflating can cause issues with the bead or the innertube if you use one.

And the nose gear tire?

[@denisronchini2258]

Do you like the Air Trac tires better than Air Hawks? I currently have Condors (almost gone) but I'm thinking of switching to Air Hawks. Any take on that? Thanks

[@HookedOnUtah]

I've had really good luck with them.

hi chief, thanks for your helpful demonstration, now what have you done on highlander so far? looks like a fun plane, what engine are planning to get? best of luck.

[@HookedOnUtah]

Niaz, Thanks for watching, the build is coming along, I'll be posting video 2 this week. I'm going to put the Edge 300TI Yamaha in it.

A trick : watch series at kaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@tombmaster972]

i hope, you already played with this safety wire, before operating the camera O.o looked like it was loose. what is the purpose of this distingtive hangar shape? in europe, you would not find this kind of hangar anywhere

[@HookedOnUtah]

I did.

[@jtflypegasus]

Thank you

[@timmytes]

Where did you get the tires balanced?.

[@HookedOnUtah]

I did them myself, I purchased a static tire balancer from Harbor freight, cheap, and super easy.

[@CreativeMechanic]

Appropriate size socket for those bolts is “eleven”??? Aircraft are all SAE

[@StpBks]

True. 7/16" 11mm is just a little tighter. It fits a little more snugly on the bolt head when they are old and worn.

[@yeagermcbipper9008]

Dude, spend the $12 and buy the proper socket. Also your wheel weights are rubbing on the valve stem.
