Shock Strut Assembly
(4) Wheel and Tire Assembly.
The wheel and tire assembly (2 each) (fig. 3–5) consists of a wheel and
a tire attached to an axle. The wheel is attached to the axle by a lock–ring and axle nut which screws the end of
the axle against the outside wheel bearings. The wheel is a split–rim type with an O–ring that provides a seal
between the two halves which are bolted together. The outboard rim is equipped with a nitrogen valve for inflating
or deflating the tire. The tire is tubeless with a rib thread design. The inboard rim is equipped with a brake disc
(rotor).
