Tnx. tried , couldn't find it.What I do is Google the aircraft and "service manual".
No. the big Nut holds the all wheel (the one with the safety pin).Are you talking about the bolts through the wheel halves? Clevelands are 150 lb-in and most MaCauleys are 90-100 lb-in.
Look here and see if manual available. If not, find one close. Usually Chapter 5 (older) or Ch 32 (newer) and sometimes look at notes on the diagram:looking for the torque of the wheel nut.
Tnx , helpful.I've never seen a torque value for an axle nut. Tighten until you begin to recognize bearing drag when rotating the tire. Back the nut off to the nearest alignment for the cotter pin hole and pin it.

Nope. Cleveland also has a 90-in-lb spec. Generally, 1/4" bolts get 90 and 5/16" get 150, but there are also separate numbers for magnesium wheels as well. Best to look up the online Cleveland maintenance manual for the torques specific to any particular wheel. You can do a lot of damage using the wrong numbers. Expensive damage.Are you talking about the bolts through the wheel halves? Clevelands are 150 lb-in and most MaCauleys are 90-100 lb-in.
Hint..we are talking like finger tight..definitely not something you’d throw a torque wrench on..or any level of torque that requires the tool.
Grab the wheel and yank it, if there is slop that’s too loose. You want it just tight enough that there is no slop, and not really any much more. Too tight is bad. The bearings will fail and your wheel may lock up at the most undesirable time.
Did you repack the bearings with grease? If you haven’t, do that, and any other time you take it apart.
Watch any video on YouTube that involves repacking trailer bearings. Same thing...this is a job that is much easier learned by “seeing” versus “reading”.
And they would be specific to the wheel numbers used on your Cessna. Different Cessnas and other manufacturers use different wheels in different model years and on different models.My numbers came right out of my Cessna service manual, which lists both Clevelands and Macs.
Reads like how I’ve always done it. By the time you “back off” to the nearest castellation you’re talking about very minimal torque.Cut and pasted from my Cessna Service Manual.
