MAINTENANCE PRINCIPLE

Dowty.
02-2 - MAINTENANCE PRINCIPLE
 Reason for main wheel disassembly: Tyre change

 Two levels of inspection
 Tyre change
‒ Basic disassembly at each tyre change
‒ Visual inspection and eddy current inspection on tyre bead seat areas
 Overhaul (from 5th tyre change = 1 to 4 years of service)
‒ Full disassembly
‒ Full visual inspection, eddy current inspection, dimensional check and penetrant inspection of the
wheel
Perform partial disassembly or complete disassembly, depending on the cycle

Dowty.
 Special inspection:
 Overheating
 Look for signs of overheating (melted fuse plugs, discolouration of wheel surface, etc.)
 For a wheel with a thermal relief plug that released pressure
‒ Discard nuts, washers and bolts
‒ Perform hardness and conductivity tests
 In case of a tyre burst or deflation during operations
 Perform an overhaul inspection
 Discard half-wheels that show signs of a rolling touch with the runway
 After a hard landing
 Examine wheel halves for out-of-roundness condition
‒ Maximum roundness condition = 0.5mm
‒ Visual check of both inner and outer bearings (cup & cone) for any damage

Dowty.
02-2 - MAINTENANCE PRINCIPLE - TYRE CHANGE
 Removal of basic components
 Inspection:
 Table of recommended inspection procedures
 Inspection of the outer and inner wheel halves
 Inspection of the bearings
 Inspection of the spacer washer, the preformed packing, the seals
 Inspection of the bolts & nuts
 Assembly:
 Protective treatment and lubrication before assembly
 Assembly of the wheel and the tyre
 Assembly of the bearings
 Valve installation
 Inflation test

Dowty.
 Loosen and remove the cap from the valve assembly
 Use a deflation tool to deflate the tyre.

NOTE: Pressure in the tyre can eject
the large valve core
Do not remove the large valve core

to deflate the tyre

Dowty.
 Remove the retaining rings from the main landing gear wheel assembly with
the retaining ring pliers
 Remove the outer bearing seals from the main landing gear wheel assembly
 Remove the bearing cones from the main landing gear wheel assembly

Dowty.
 Separate the tyre beads from the bead seat using a bead breaker machine
 CAUTION: Do not loosen the nuts before the tyre beads are loosened from the
flanges of the main landing gear wheel assembly. Nuts that are loosened before the
tyre beads are loosened can cause damage to the mating surfaces of the outer and
inner half-wheels

Dowty.
 Loosen and unscrew the nuts two or three turns each time,
in an alternating criss-cross sequence. Make sure that the outer and inner half-
wheels stay parallel when they move apart
 Remove the nuts, the washers, and the bolts

 CAUTION: Discard the two adjacent bolts to a bolt that is broken or missing from the
main landing gear wheel assembly. The increased tension on the adjacent bolts can
cause damage to these bolts
 CAUTION: If there is more than one broken bolt, discard all the bolts
 Pull the outer and inner half-wheels out of the tyre
 Remove the preformed packing

Dowty.
Before cleaning parts, remove all their preformed packing

If sand is used in the abrasive blast procedure, or if a wire brush is used to clean
the parts, this will cause damage to the anodized layer on aluminium parts
 Clean the blending area between the bead seat and the rim to remove any
remaining grease or rubber particles
 Clean the metal parts:

 Clean the metal parts with white spirit, or MIL-PRF-680, and a soft bristle brush
 Use clean, dry compressed air to dry the parts
 Clean the external surfaces of the inflation valve and the pressure relief valve with a
piece of cloth moist with alcohol, or a mild soap and water solution
 Clean the non-metal parts

 Clean the seals, preformed packing and spacer with a piece of cloth moist with
alcohol, or a mild soap and water solution

Dowty.
 Clean the bearings

 Clean the bearing cups with white spirit, or MIL-PRF-680, and apply a protective
product, such as ROCKET WD40.
 Soak the bearing cones in white spirit, or MIL-PRF-680, to remove grease
 Flush the bearing cones with the cleaning product and use clean, dry, compressed air to
remove all grease
 Fully flush the bearing cones again in clean white spirit, or MIL-PRF-680
 Let the cleaning product dry in air
 Apply a protective product, such as ROCKET WD40, to the bearing cones if you are not
going to inspect them, and fill them with grease in less than 2 hours

Dowty.
 Inspect according to the table:
 At each tyre replacement

 Every 5th tyre replacement
 NOTE: The general inspection of the main landing
gear wheel assembly is left to the operator’s decision,
which must be based on their experience. However,
MESSIER-BUGATTI-DOWTY recommends to perform
this inspection every 5th tyre replacement
 If the main landing gear wheel assembly was
overloaded (e.g. the main landing gear wheel assembly
rolled with a flat tyre, or the other main landing gear
wheel assembly on the same axle had a flat tyre), refer
to the following table
 NOTE: If the main landing gear wheel assembly was

overloaded, perform the same inspections on the other
main landing gear wheel assembly on the same axle

Dowty.
 Inspection of the outer and inner half-wheels

 Check if there is any sign of damage, impact, corrosion, scores, scratches, or notches,
especially in the tyre bead seat area
 With a magnifying glass, check for signs of cracks in the ventilation holes, on the
blending radius of the tyre bead seat area, the mating faces of the half-wheels, and
between the tie bolt holes
 No movement or clearance is permitted between the bearing cups and their housing. The
raceway surface must be in good condition
 Eddy current inspection of each bead seat area
Eddy current Eddy current

Dowty.
 Visual inspection for the parts that you can see:
 Drive keys are correctly attached and in satisfactory condition

 No distortion or corrosion
 No signs of indentations or scratches
 No peeling of nickel coating
 They must not be loose on their seats
 If there is a defect, refer to the repair section
Drive key

Dowty.
 Inspection of the bearing

 Check for corrosion, fatigue, nicks and bruises
 A clean, “Scotchbrite” surface is acceptable
 Use a ballpoint pen
 If any irregularity is found, scrap the part
 Cause of corrosion:
 Usually poor condition seals but may also be due to poor cleaning practices
 Some greases perform better than others when moisture is present
 Make sure that the bearing cups do not turn in their housing. No movement is
permitted
 The clearance between the bottom of the bearing cup housing and the bearing cup
must be constant and not move more than the CMM value (0.07mm)

 Overheated bearing
SCRAP

Dowty.
Good roller end Rough, scored roller end

OK SCRAP
Smooth, uniform surface. Rough surface and burr on outside

No metal-to-metal sliding edge. Thrust rib probably looks the
contact same. No amount of lubrication can now keep these
sliding surfaces apart

Dowty.
Burr or wear at pocket end Bent - handling damage
SCRAP SCRAP
Generally the result of inadequate nut torque Probably dropped on the tarmac or
(or incorrectly applied nut torque). The bearing during inspection/cleaning. Cage
runs too loose with poor control of the wheel. pinches on roller, inducing stress in
The wheel vibrates or ‘shimmys’ causing the cage and wear
cage to contact the roller small end. Wear is
produced and cage clearance increases

Dowty.
Pushing down radially with light Excessive ‘shake’ can be

finger pressure, ensure that the confirmed by putting a spare cup
cage has ‘shake’ at all positions on the cone. Lift the cage and
and no tight spots push towards the cup track - if it
can be made to contact or nearly
contact, the cage has too much
wear and the bearing must be
scrapped

Dowty.
