Airbus A321 #1 wheel assembly change. THIS IS REFERENCE ONLY. PLEASE REFERENCE YOUR AMM TO DO THIS WORK.
Just as a side note, i call is a wheel because we change the whole unit Wheel Assembly, but the worn out part is actually the Tire, so forgive the word play there.
OK now that all my capital letter screaming is out of the way, this is actually a very easy job, it’s a bit laborious, but with the right people and the right tools and you can get it done in a very short amount of time. Not much else I can say here that I did not say in the video, just take all the precautions, and be safe at your job, and most importantly follow your maintenance manual procedures.
on a side note, there are a few things that obviously I did not show here, because I’m actually doing a job, I give you small glimpses of what’s involved, this is the world of maintenance.
As always, I appreciate you all watching and learning, stay tuned, more amazing things to come, have a beautiful day yours truly Stig 🤙

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.

Wow 150lb ft for the final torque number on the center lock nut seems so low. After the 300lb ft initial torque value I assumed the final would be around 5-600 like it is on street cars with center locks like Porsche and Mclaren. Very interesting for sure.

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.

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. I don't think you're understanding is quite right

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.

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.

That's because on the airbuses the electrical connection & the components that actually spin the brake fan are on the brake assembly it self. You only remove the impeller (fan) it self when changing a tire. Every else stays.

In many cases the manuals can be accessed on our phones.

There is many other reasons we use our cell phones in aviation maintenance as well.

Thank you for sharing this video. I am interested in maintainence of the landing equipment. One question: Do you wear masks during disassembly and cleaning because that black powder gets everywhere and on everything. Breathing that in might be similar to breathing in brake lining dust when we found it contained asbestos particles and hazardous to service personnel maintainence teams. You only have to look at your gloves to see what effects it has on anything near you. I wonder how much heat is generated by the braking during one landing, I bet the tyres get hot too? On cars, it's low, but on military tanks, we can boil water in seconds.
