    I did not see a torque wrench and I am certain they did not make a logbook entry before landing...

    Thanks for that. Like mowing the yard, replacing a wheel is now woman's work.

    It's kind of a lost skill set because wheels don't regularly fall off like they used too (despite the fact that the Jenny was built three years after the invention of the cotter pin) Also wings no longer have all those wires to hang on to.

    My A&P is around 60 yrs old and I"m sure he couldn't do that.
    But I think my 14 yr old nephew could, and would be thrilled to try. But even if he was successful, his mother would have a heart attack, then beat him to death.

    She'd beat you both to death.
