On a car or an airplane? Drum brakes, expansion tubes,
mechanical, floating disk (Goodyear) or floating caliper
(Cleveland), multi-disk (King Air or jets)? You must be
specific.

| Changing a tire on an airplane requires removal of the
brake
| assembly, perhaps splitting the wheel halves and
installing
| the new tire on the old wheel and properly torquring the
| wheel bolts. Then the wheel must be installed after
packing
| the cleaned and inspected wheel bearing.
|
| Changing a tire on an airplane is more like changing the
| front hub on a car.
|
| Okay...now describe the steps and skills involved in doing
a brake job.

| | The FAA lawyers make the rules. For instance, a
brand
| new
| | private pilot may change a tire, but cannot work on
the
| | brakes on the same wheel.
| |
| | My wife and daughter can change a tire on the car, but
| neither of them could
| | do a brake job on those cars.
