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 🤙

From a 39 year pilot at American Airlines, I Thankyou for ALL you guys do! You have never failed me!!!!
Thank you Captain. I appreciate you and your kind words. We will always keep you aircraft safe and airworthy 🫡
An extremely interesting video. Changing out brakes and tires on an aircraft in comparison to doing the same on automotive vehicles.
That is an awesome recognition! It takes a whole team to make every single flight go! All on the same team, and you’ll make it back to base as a team!
What they tell you vs what they do. Trust but verify. This generation of A&P techs is t what it used to be. They are effing weak spirited.
From a guy that's worked at the front office of that very ship number at some point, thanks for all you do.
it's interesting to watch the metal we all work on.. you seeing it from your perspective and me from mine... but we both know that we are a part of it.
Also worked in the front of that ship. Left hand seat
@@jayj6951 😉 captain … I bet you seen me on many gate calls at LAX 🤙 don’t be shy. Say hello
*0A* is the best seat in the office. 👍👍
And from one of the Students of (not these airplanes much smaller ) thank you for maintaining these and all types of aircraft and also from someone who works on them also (much smaller airframes ) your welcome 😂😂
I love flying em and I love fixing em.
As a retired airline captain I was always thankful for the maintenance I received from guys like you. It made my life easier and safer. Thanks for the job you guys do.
Thank you Captain. Much appreciated sir.
As a mech, I use to jump seat a lot. Enjoyed the ride. Great education. I had a M20e
Brother, I am just a private pilot with my commercial and IFR rating… your channel is going to the moon! Keep this content going! Not only does it help non aviation people feel safer that you are there on standby but for aviation people like myself, I love the background of everything! Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, good luck! I subscribed in the first minute, it’s only one, but… it will grow! Take care and thank you for keeping us all safe up there!!! Nothing but the best to you and your team.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words sir. It’s a pleasure to have you here and I’m very happy you are enjoying it. I got plenty of fun videos with lots of adventures in aircraft maintenance. If you see anything that you find interesting, don’t hesitate to ask questions. I’m always here to listen, teach and learn.
You all are just as important as the pilots. Good work!
As an A320 Capt I find these kind of content very interesting. It's always good to know what's going on and how things work outside of our flight deck "bubble". Good job!
Thank you captain. And it’s a pleasure to have you here.
As a flight attendant I always remember to thank the unseen people that make aviation safe for all of us,, and that's the ramp crew, the passengers don't see them, they see us flight attendants mainly, but the unsung heroes are the ramp crew. Thanks guys for keeping all of us safe.
It’s our pleasure as mechanics to keep you safe in the sky. And thank you for all your hard work you do in that sky. I have seen flight attendants training… INTENSE..lack of a better word.
These videos are perfect; not too dumbed down, and not too complex in vocabulary. Great content! Makes me regret not going after my A&P license
Glad you enjoyed it Mark Thank you for being here
Great work Stig. A lot to deal with but you sorted it really thoroughly. Thanks for the video of “things we rarely see”!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for being here and enjoying
I have an irrational fear of flying. It is not stopping me from flying mind you but it can at times be stressful. Watching your channel, understanding the redundancies in place around, well, pretty much everything has really helped me. Knowledge is indeed power. Thank you.
Thank you for saying that and I’m very happy you enjoyed it and learned.
Flying is the safest way to travel statistically speaking. You are more likely to die driving to work than flying.
It’s not irrational, that vertical component coupled with gravity will kill you deader than a doornail!😂😂😂
I hope you find good ways to manage those irrational thoughts. I had similar issues with heights, but it wasn’t until I started addressing general anxiety disorder that I noticed my fear of heights was greatly reduced.
Stay strong!
I got to go into the cockpit of this bird a few weeks ago. First cockpit I have ever been in, got to sit in the captain’s seat and everything. It’s an honor that you worked on the very bird I got to fly in. N400AN is a very nice airplane!
I’m so happy you got to enjoy that and experience that Alex, fun fact, aircraft 400 is the very first 321 Neo we got for delivery
@@StigAviation Ha, that’s so cool!
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.
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.
Good to know indigent, passionate, and hardworking guys like you are still fixing aircraft... for now.
Thank you for the kind words Jordan
"Why am I showing you this" cuz your awesome?, that's why . I can tell by your commentary you take pride in your work, work ethics, and quality of work. Great Video. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words.
I was aircraft mechanic for 22 years it was the most satisfying job I ever had.
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.
I bet you got some good stories. And you are right. The bond you create with coworkers is amazing. You become like family.
Any advice for getting into this work? I do maintenance at Amazon rn.
I am VERY happy and pleased I discovered this channel! I would not let it go!!! Congrats for a great job!!!
Thank you so much! Thank you for being here
This was a fantastic walk-through! Thanks for going to the trouble to document and share! ❤ Bravo! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching Duncan.
Dude, that was freaking awesome. Incredible job for you and all those involved.
Thanks a ton! I appreciate it
Having 39 years of experience in automotive Ive worked on nearly every except airplanes and trains, I think this is very interesting and a very well put together video. I’ve seen some other ones you have they’re all great thank you for sharing it.
Thank you so much for being here and enjoying it. I appreciate it.
Thank you for doing what you do and taking so much pride. You keep the skies safer each day! And your transparency and education are very valuable!
It’s my pleasure Sir. Thank you for being here Jeff
Mr Stig. I know you know, that one of the most important tasks you do, after the inspection and before fixing, is to accurately diagnose the problem. It's very evident by your videos. Congrats to you and your crew.
Definitely important knowing how to read and interpret manuals to diagnose the issues correctly
Good video that I forwarded to a young neighbor thinking of a career as an airline A&P. I hope he is inspired and gets to work for a big airline in a couple of years. Stuff happens; lucky there wasn’t any damage to the axle.
I hope your neighbor enjoys it, let me know if they have questions about it.
Thank you for your professionalism and dedication to safety. You folks are essential!!
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you
Just started my 2 year A&P training and these videos are so fun to watch, it's a cool look inside to what I'll be getting myself into, thanks !
Keep up the good studies, you’re gonna do great. I’m glad this is helping you. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. I’m here to help.
Awesome video! I find it very interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes. As always keep up the great videos! Cheers!
Thank you very much!
Great video stig, cool to see how much vigilance there Is amongst you guys. Give me real confidence to fly thank you Stig
Thank you so much for your kind words... i truly do appreciate it.
You and your colleagues do a great job, keep the videos coming stig
In Ops, I've seen you guys come out to many emergency aircraft that can no longer taxi and change the tire on the rwy. Amazing watching you guys from the comfort of my Tahoe...in August...in Houston. Great job.
Thanks for describing the "stuff" we find on the rwy during our inspections.
We try to do as much as we possibly can to help. And I have gotten quite interesting photos from some of my friends at LAX ops asking me what that part is.
It always amazes me that people can be nervous of a defect on a plane which is throughout checked at regular intervals, yet there are people driving around in no inspection states.
Great work as always man! Thank you for keeping us all safe.
You make gray point there. Thank you very much.
I love watching how intricate commercial jets are. It’s fascinating and please keep making these videos.
Will do. Thank you
Love how you kept your colleagues safe!
They are my friends and colleagues and incredible mechanics. Safety is priority number one
Im annoyed at TH-cams algorithm that it knows I love planes and and increasing interest in mechanical repairs and it didn’t recommend your channel to me sooner. Subscribed!
Glad to have you here. Happy you are enjoying it.
It amazes me the technical intricacy of those machines, yet those guys make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing....
Thank you for watching. And in reality it’s not that hard to work on. We have really detailed manuals we follow. It’s genuinely step by step instructions. It’s a fun job
Appreciate the whole video, excellent work! Thanks for keeping us safe and helping us get where we need to
It’s my absolute pleasure, thank you for being here and watching
Great video as always thanks for showing these types of random occurrences.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching
Great video! What an unusual string of events; tie bolt failure, brake damage and subsequent tyre damage, nice works guys!
We were all very happy to catch it before any further damage. It all worked out.
Excellent Job Stig!! - Quality Work!
I appreciate that
I’m currently working right next door to Gatwick airport, I’m a mechanic I’m repairing the airport vehicles. Never get bored of that thundering sound as they take off. Very interesting to see that description of your repair.
I’m very happy you’re enjoying it Peter. Thank you for being here sir.
Your videos are invaluable for aviation. Passengers then feel safe. Good Job. You and your colleagues cannot be seen. It's good that you're there. ❤
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching.
Thanks for this very informative video on the A321 tire/wheel/brake assembly. As well as explaining the failure and redundancy
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it
Very well explained and a thorough job. Top work. Thankyou
Thank you very much Steve. I appreciate you being here and watching.
Great job. With people like you we can travel safely. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words
Awesome channel! Thank you so much for your hard work and keeping us safe out there!
It’s my pleasure and thank you for being here
Good stuff guys! Thank you this informative vid and of course your dedication to air safety!!
Thank you so much Rob, I appreciate you being here and watching
Thanks for taking the time to make these informative vidz 👊
Glad you like them!
Very educational. Excellent narration. I subscribed.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you being here
Much respect for those who design, engineer, fly AND maintain aircraft. Great video!!
Many thanks
Wow you just brought back memories for me when I worked at the ATL Hartsfield Airport. Great work!
Thank you Jude. I’m glad I brought back fond memories.
I am not a mechanic, but you explained this so well, I understood this! Thank you for your video.
I’m very happy it was all understandable Vicky. Thank you for watching
This takes me back to a long time a go... working in the wheels and brakes overhaul shop at Schreiner at Maastricht airport. Good times! Mostly Dash 8, ATR 42/72, Embraer 120 and F27 F50 stuff, but we did get to put an AN124 back into service wich had been impounded at Maastricht and had stood on the side of the ramp for several years wich was pretty cool for a 24 year old me.
Hold onto those good memories, sometimes we get to see something amazing, and it stays with us for a long time
Thank you for these videos I’ve been doing a/c maintenance for 2 years and I’m more comfortable with narrow bodies specifically airbus.. but I’m not to familiar with widebodys your videos have helped me a lot
I’m glad it’s helpful and don’t be intimidated by the wide body bird. Just takes time to learn them and you’ll need a ladder 😅. But overall the wide body aircraft are generally easier to work on.
You forgot to ask the fan “Why are you so loud?!” Which is becoming one of your signature sayings. 😂 In all seriousness, great explanation and video.
Love that! lol that fan is so darn LOUD lol
From a layman who loves planes and aviation,that was excellent.just found your channel.👍
Welcome aboard! And thank you for being here and enjoying it.
Very interesting. There's so many parts and knowledge that goes into these planes for them to be safe. Thank you for showing us, and your work.
My pleasure. Thank you for watching
Just got hired on at American Airlines here in Charlotte.,NC and in school to get my A&P your video's are great
Thats Awesome, Congratulations... keep up the good studies... don't hesitate to ask questions... i'm here to help
@StigAviation Thanks really appreciate it. Done with my general classes so gone take that test soon. Going into Airframe or PowerPlate next. Any tips on the general test?
@@williamcook4315 word association for passing the written tests. Remember the basics for the O&P
@@StigAviation Appreciate
From Ontario, Canada, thanks for the video, very interesting and informative!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching
Great job with the video and the commentary! We pilots feel safer with you guys doing the hardest work ensuring our safety on the ground and in the air! Keep up the good work and thank you 😊😊😊
Many thanks Captain 🫡
i had zero interest in this industry, until i asked a friend of a friend what was he doing, newly joined aircraft trainee technician and shared your vids and the contents in this channel, is priceless. surprised all these aren't restricted stuffs.
I’m glad you and your friend enjoyed it. And there’s no restrictions here, this is commercial aviation. There are no secrets here.
Thanks for keeping us safe
It’s my pleasure. Thank you for watching.
Magnificent work. Great job! Cheers.
Thank you! Cheers!
As a Supply Technician...i know the amount of pressure on you guys...i do respect all the Efforts and works on that...such an important part of Flying....
Thank you 👏🏻 💐
🇸🇦💯👍🏻🌴
Thank you very much. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for being here.
Thanks for this knowledge sir.
Great
So nice of you
All your videos are great Stig!
Many thanks 🙏
wow so cool! I'm left speechless! thank you to you and all aircraft maintenance techs.. amazing job! thank you for your services! very fascinating to watch! thank you for letting us watch what happens on your day!
It’s my pleasure!
Amazing Story. Thank you for sharing this!
My pleasure Dave
Gracias los aficionados al mantenimiento agradecemos tener estos vídeos para los momentos en que no hay un colega
Thank you very much.
I'm on the 320 series, and THANK YOU for a great job. I trust my life to our mx men and women.
We fix You Fly. 🤙 I appreciate you being here, thank you for watching.
Very informative. Love the video.
Many thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for the helpful instructions. I’ll be changing the brakes on my 747 when the parts come in
Awesome. Good luck and make sure to be safe. Even tho this video was on an Airbus. I’m sure you’ll figure it out 🙃.
Outstanding video brother! 💛
Thank you Glen. Much appreciated
Aircraft Mechanics are painfully under paid for the amount of professional and personal liability they undertake in their job.
Many are very underpaid but for me, I’m very satisfied with my pay and I have no complaints.
@@StigAviation glad to hear!
They are also under appreciated. Most of the general public, including their bosses, don’t understand what they do
Pretty cool you can test drive it. I would have figured you'd ride along while a pilot does a lap.
We have the qualifications to taxi.. until i'm satisfied with the aircraft and its safety..only then i'll let the pilot have the aircraft
Hopefully AirBus has a notification requirement to notify trends in failures? Great job!
Indeed they do, and it’s more to the wheel assembly manufacturers than to Airbus. But yes They were notified with a safety report from us.
The aircraft is a machine!!!, wow you learn something new everyday
👍 glad you enjoyed it.
As always great job ...
Thank you so much 😀
One of the coolest jobs going. Very interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man you have my respect. Great job.
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching
I learn something new everyday 👍🏻….thanks for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻
My pleasure 👍
Nice work! 💪🏽
Thank you 🙌
Very interesting, indeed! This is one of the best marketing tools American has, and it comes from those making things safe and ready. Love the pride you have in your work!
Thank you so much Edward, although I do not represent my carrier, I do like to showcase aircraft, maintenance and the pride we take in safety.
I’m amazed you do all that work at the gate.
It’s absolutely fantastic job, so much fun
I learned something today thank you very much you explained it perfectly I don't know what darn thing about aircraft but now I know a little bit more than I ever did
I am very happy you enjoyed it
You guys are awesome 👊🏿
Many thanks. I appreciate it
I remember in a later video, you dealt with a flat tire due to a valve core that failed in the stem, while a rare occurrence, it has been known to happen, I've changed out many myself. 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. You have massively improved your video production in the modern stuff though, and everytime I have a question, you seem to answer it in an older video, so I don't have to ask lol. I know, your awesome.
I’m glad it’s working out well, and I am trying to do better every video and try to include as much information as possible.
@@StigAviation From my heart to yours, I appreciate it. 😃
Nice work guys!! 👍👍
Thank you Chris 👍
I love your job!
Me too
Nice video showing good details, but I was wondering why you did a taxi test? AMM doesn't call for it (we can't do it here under EASA now anyway) and your delay would have been less
Because I was not satisfied, I wanted to make sure that it was no other issues. That is my prerogative as an aircraft, maintenance technician, if I choose to taxi and aircraft to make sure the aircraft is deemed to be airworthy, then I will do so. at the end of the day it is my signature that is approving that aircraft to be airworthy, I will not put people on board unless I am completely satisfied with the product I put out.
Just began AMT training this week, hope to be over at mainline with ya'll fixing stuff in the future. Gotta put some more time in with PSA first after I'm certified, but I'm excited to work on stuff like in your videos! Going from flying and breaking CRJs, to fixing them. 😅
You’ll love it. Wishing you all the best.
Subscribed after watching the first minute of the first video I’m watching from your channel 😎
Glad you are enjoying it. Thank you for being here.
Did this many times, but am finally retired from the airline business. The planes can fly themselves but they can't fix themselves, it's the grease & oil stained mechanic that plays a very major part in keeping them airborne. FLY NAVY!!!
You said it perfectly sir. And thank you for your service 🫡 Navy all the way 🤙
Stig, my fascionation towards aviation is nothing but recent and i certainly did not expect to end up on this path at all. But it was only when coming across one of your videos a couple months ago that i actually decided to take a leap and pursue this beautiful path. Thank you for the reassurance and passion you show on your videos, its truly insightful and i am prepping myself to start studying next year.
Gotta cheer up on that amazing work that you do, thank you again.
(Also, if you see this comment, what happens with the tires you remove? Are they disposed? Sent back to someone?
Also, the sound of the pistons was astounding, truly beautiful.)
Glad you are here and enjoying it all. And to answer your question the tire and whole wheel assembly will get sent out to an overhaul shop. If it’s still usable they will recap it. If not then recycled. 👍
Good job, I enjoyed it very much
Glad you enjoyed it
I've done many of the R&R tires and brakes even landing grear R&R on the MD-10/KC-10's.
Job well done! 👍✈️
Thank you Henry, you know that’s the one aircraft that I never got to work on. The MD10/MD11s. But I always admired them from a distance.
Fascinating👌🏻
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching Kev
Awesome video and education!
Thank you very much Ron.
Good eye my dude! Really enjoy this kinda content
Thank you very much sir, I appreciate that. Thank you for being here and enjoying it.
Another great video, Stig!!!!
How about a visit to stores?
Maybe one day! i would need to ask permission for that.
Pictures worth a million dollars...CYA, personal safety and team safety first... Great job... hope your being paid well
Thank you. And yes I am. It’s an amazing job.
Perfect job ❤
Thank you so much
Great job thank you all for keeping us safe that fly
Thank you very much, I appreciate you watching and enjoying
I thought this was an amazing explanation...thanks!
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting video. Learned a lot.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching.
