The wheels can be removed without disassembling the brake<br />

system. Remove the wheel spat retaining screws and withdraw the<br />

fairing upward (if fitted). Hoist the aircraft using a jack placed<br />

beneath the wheel axle bracket plate. Release and remove the<br />

wheel nut and the securing washer (discard washer). Release the<br />

brake hose retaining clamp and withdraw the whole wheel/brake<br />

assembly from the wheel axle. Remove the three brake disc fixing<br />

screws for separating brake system from wheel (not applicable with<br />

the REMOS Brake System installed).<br />

bracket plate. Use a new securing washer and reassemble the wheel<br />

nut. If necessary bleed the brake system using the bleed valve.<br />
