This is the best way when out in an airport or flight line. These guys do these allot and know each part and where they go. But if removing hundreds of screws say like up on a lift on wing acces panels we used Tabasco bags with tie strings so we could put the same screws or bolts back in. We'd tie the bags to the panel especially if it was going to be a day or two before reinstalling the panels. If larger parts We'd put the like on a bread rack in the parts shed with removal record serial, part number, and aircraft they go to plus date removed and time. Now for tools it's super controlled with cutouts in tool boxes for each tool and a chip with your ID to put in each spot so the auditor knows who has them out. Loose parts or tools on an aircraft is a bad thing especially in flight.

Glad to hear you mention removing the air pressure from the wheel because I didn’t see it being done immediately after jacking the landing gear up. Safety first. Wheels should only be removed and installed at a greatly reduced pressure. Once the replacement wheel is fully installed, use nitrogen gas to top the wheel pressure up to the required amount. There is a history of people being injured and killed by failure of the bolts holding the wheel halves together especially on the wheel coming off of the aircraft. Good video for reference.

It is a legal requirement. The same statement can be found in all our study books. Because it's all uncontrolled data. Whenever it is not for reference only, but the data isn't controlled actively by the airline or the aircraft manufacturer, one must always check whether the maintenance manual version number is the most recent one. These days, you carry all maintenance manuals with you in the form of an iPad.

I'm sure there's a good reason for this already. However, I often wondered why airplane manufacturers didn't design the wheel too spin when it comes out for landing. A simple rim configuration could act as an air foil that when the tire was lowered from the fuselage air current would spin the wheel. That way when you land you don't lose 80% of the rubber of the tire.

@@MulaBatiswaHutagaol I don't know what you're referring to. The wheels are in their base during flight. And it would only take a small windmill device on either the rim or heaters assembly as the tire comes out of its bay. The wind spins it. Thereby limiting the amount of rubber it leaves on the runway. The tire doesn't just sit there and spin all the time. It only spins when the tire comes out.

It introduces some unwanted variables, such as gyroscopic effects during approach, and uneven inertia on touchdown if the wheels aren't spinning in sync. During take-off, the wheels need to be stopped before they're stowed, so keeping them at speed in the air would cause more wear on the brakes.

The 300 ft lbs is to ensure the bearings get a good seat on the axle, 150 is about standard for most big jets. With how much force is exerted on those tires and the axle, a high torque value would be detrimental and could cause more wear and tear.

Hi, i have a question, how much time does it take to change that wheel? Can it be changed during the wait to the next flight parked in the boarding slot? Or it is necessary to take the plane to the mantainance hangar? Thank you and regards from Mexico

@12345fowler 🤔 dear brother , in engineering way or mechanical way , cleaning parts are not only to make them look prety, during any maintenance when you clean the parts you can observe if there are any tracing of failure exists such as line of cracks, erosion , any wear may lead to incident.

This is very similar to an F35A tire change, except it doesn’t have a fan, it just has a hubcap and the 3 fasteners don’t have cotter pins, they’re tied together with safety wire and a little sleeve goes over the safety wire lol, and the axle nut is torqued to a much lower spec. 300 ft lbs is pretty insane for the initial btw
