- In this video Myannual.net shows you step by stem how to remove a tire/wheel from your aircraft, remove the old tire and tube, clean and inspect all the parts, clean and repack the wheel bearings with grease and reassemble the wheel and reinstall on the aircraft.
Don't put the felt pads on either side in the solvent. Wipe them off with a paper towel, then apply a thin coating of grease to them before installing. Wipe all parts off before putting in solvent, it will keep your solvent cleaner. I recommend cleaning the bearings first while the solvent is cleanest. Tighten the axle nut to specified torque value (in maint. manual) first to completely seat the wheel, then back off until tire will spin with not too much rotation but has no side-to-side play. To break the bead on the tire, cut a piece of plywood in the shape of a donut that will cover the tire, but will allow the rim to fit through the hole in the plywood. Place tire on floor, donut on top, then stand on the plywood and do the hulu. Don't forget the hand motions. It will come right off without damaging the wheel. Thanks for the video.
+Cammie Patch do I need the faa/pma ukulele, or can I use a light sport uke ?
That a cool way, thanks for that tip.
Make sure to include a video of the hulu process.
Excellent instructional video to help pilot-owners better understand some of the basic preventative maintenance items that they can legally do on their own, so that they can save a bit of labor cost and better understand their aircraft. Thank you for taking the time to produce this!
Overall, a well done basic instructional video for the owner/operator. A few details: For safety, pull the valve core to deflate the tie before removing the axle nut. I recommend strongly against the use of a tire iron to break the bead. It will cause damage and induce cracks the aluminum alloy rim. Use care when joining the wheel halves that you don't pinch the tube. Check with your A&P about the correct brake caliper bolts. -some random IA
Nice video. Always deflate tire prior to removing axle nut just in case any of the bolts are weak. More important on high pressure tires but if you routinely do it you won't make a mistake with low or high pressure. After initial inflation remove valve stem to allow inner tube to readjust itself in case of twist. Be careful with the brake line, the way you are twisting it when cleaning you can possibly cause a fatigue fracture.
Great video, changing my tires this weekend after the annual inspection and good thing I watched this. Hadn't heard of tire talc before, and haven't done a tube tire before.
I know this video is old but I am saving it for my airframe Practical, thank you!
Same! Good luck unless you passed already! Mine is coming up next week, this video is great
Still good info. did it today. Thanks a ton

I like your format. Hoped to see you balance the wheel.
where's the faa approved maintenance manual?
¡Thank you so much this has been very helpful!
Thanks for posting.
Most bearings have a caution against using compressed air to dry/spin them....
Great video.👍👍👍👍
Nice video, thanks for your help
I liked the video. Have to change my first flat this weekend. When I did a brake job on my truck a while back, my mechanic brother told me to pack the bearings with black moly grease. Is that what I should use for the plane bearings? I also have all-purpose grease in case. Thanks.
I'd use a hi temp moly bearing grease. Those tiny tires do a lot of rpms when you take off and land, and the brake rotors heat the grease up in the bearings quite rapidly when you slow down. Coming to complete stop generates a lot of heat.
Great video!
I grew up when tubed tires were common. I was taught to inflate the tires and deflate the tires sever times. Why??? Because that was the way to get any wrinkles out of the inner tube.
Are aircraft tires so small that this procedure is no longer necessary? When I change my C-182 tires, I always inflate the tire, bounce it up & down on the floor sever times, then deflate the tire, and repeat the process. I have never had a an inner tube with a fold in it. Has this procedure fallen by the wayside?
I partially fill the tube, and put it in the tire on the rim, close to volume of tire with no air pressure, then do the same once the split rims are bolted back together.
No safety wire?, what about star washers between flat washer and bolt head?
GREAT VIDEO and work! Thank you. Question to all: is the snap ring one-sided? I saw Eric flip it at 7:57 while reinstalling? I have had issues with them popping out of airplanes after wheel bearings were done. I'm not an A&P, just a pilot. : )
I know this is an old question but I just watched the video. The snap ring is not one sided. he flipped it over to give him better leverage for reinstallation. He wanted to pull on the ring vs push on it would be my guess
wheel balance?
I like your work Eric. Where is your shop
Should you deflate tire before removing axle nut?
Mcguire On Fire yes . Because if not high possibility that it can explode
Maybe not explode, but when you separate the wheel halves, the hardware can break, or a wheel half will fly into your face. Your face and upper body will appreciate it.
It’s a good idea to apply a water/soap solution to the valve after inflation to make sure the valve isn’t leaking.
How much psi Air
Your POH should have the correct values.
just lost $200 while watching this video
This video should be removed. The instructions are totally incorrect. Every time there is learning point such as how to replace the cotter pin he jumps to a blur-screen, he does the same thing for inserting the inner tube. Yes, there are tricks, simple ones but tricks nonetheless. Find another video.
You are an idiot , Barry Barry
Glad to hear you found my videos helpful, please pass the work. Let me know if you would like to see specific topics covered. Blue Skies!
