Keep them wheels turnin'.Dear Sergeant Blade, Our mechanics had a tough time assembling tires on rims For our Black Hawks Black Hawk (born 1767, Sauk Sautenuk, Va.—died Oct. 3, 1838, village on the Des Moines River, Iowa, U.S.) Sauk Indian leader. Long antagonistic to whites, Black Hawk was driven into Iowa from Illinois in 1831. using the suggested line-up bolts in Paragraph 3-4-13 of TM 1-1520-237-23 to help draw the wheel halves together. The problem is that the line-up bolts are not long enough and we can't screw screw, simple machine consisting essentially of a solid cylinder, usually of metal, around which an inclined plane winds spirally, either clockwise or counterclockwise. the nuts onto the other bolts to tighten the wheel halves together, especially when assembling new tires. Also, because of the position of the bolt bolt Mechanical fastener, usually used with a nut, for connecting two or more parts. Bolted joints can be readily disassembled and reassembled; hence bolts or screw fasteners are used more than other types of mechanical fastener. pattern, the halves do not rest evenly when bolted together on the floor. That can cause leaks through the packing once the tire is Fully assembled as·sem·ble v. as·sem·bled, as·sem·bling, as·sem·bles v.tr. 1. To bring or call together into a group or whole: assembled the jury. 2. . We've come up with a table-mounted fixture An article in the nature of Personal Property which has been so annexed to the realty that it is regarded as a part of the real property. That which is fixed or attached to something permanently as an appendage and is not removable. that lets you assemble the wheel without using line-up bolts to draw the wheel halves together. Your AVIM shop can make the tire fixture. Then you can attach it to a table. Follow the TM procedures as usual, except use the fixtrue instead of bolts to draw the wheel halves together like it shows on the next page. Sgt Andrea Chamorro, Jr. MAARNG Make table-mounted tool to ease wheel assembly 1. Put old bearing and inner wheel half on fixture 2. Put tire and outer wheel half on fixture, and add bearing 3. Add round plate. Use nut handle to tighten plate 4. Add wheel bolts ... 5. ... and tighten them 6. Remove wing nut, pressing plate, old bearing and assembles tire from fixture |
