32-45-21 Page INTRO-2

May 25/01
NOTE: Refer to IPL Figure 1 on page 1005 and Figure 1 for identification of the parts.
1. The 3-1208-1 main wheel is a split-type assembly made of cast magnesium. The wheel
assembly uses a 8.50 X 10, 8-ply or 10-ply rated tubeless or tube type tire.
The 3-1208-1 OPT1 wheel assembly is configured to use a tubeless type tire.
The 3-1208-1 OPT2 wheel assembly is configured to use a tube type tire.
The 3-1208-1 OPT2 wheel assembly can be converted to a tubeless type tire (refer to Figure
607, REPAIR section).
2. A tubeless tire valve assembly (30), installed in the tubewell of the outer wheel half
assembly (150) mating surface, is used to inflate the tubeless tire. The valve assembly
is not necessary on wheel assemblies that use a tube type tire.
3. Eight equally-spaced tie bolts (75), sixteen washers (70), and eight nuts (65) hold the
inner and outer wheel half assemblies together.
4. A preformed packing (80), mounted on the mating surface of the inner wheel half
assembly (85), prevents air leakage from between the inner and outer wheel half
assemblies (85, 150). The preformed packing is not necessary on wheel assemblies that
use a tube type tire.
5. Twenty torque keys (100) are installed in slots in the flange area of the inner wheel half
assembly (85). The keys engage the drive lugs on the brake disk, which turn the disk as
the wheel turns. The keys are attached to the inner wheel half flange with screws (95)
that thread into Heli-Coil inserts (105). The screws are locked with wire (90).
6. Bearing cups (140, 185) and bearing cones (10, 25) hold the wheel and tire assembly
on the axle. A seal assembly (20) and hub cap (195, 200) protect the bearings from dirt
and moisture contamination. The seal assembly and hub cap are held in place with lock
ring (5) and retainer (15).
Performance code 629 bearing parts are now the only type that is available from Timken for
use in aircraft wheels (for improved bearing reliability). The inspection code, which includes
the performance code, is a number that follows the base part number.
Example: Item 50A, part number LM503349A-2_629 - The " base part number" is
LM503349A. The "inspection code" is 2_629.
NOTE: The inspection code is not shown on bearing parts that have a "2_024" inspection
or no inspection code.
The (-) after the base part number is used to separate the base part number and the
inspection code. An asterisk (*) can appear in is location on the bearing cups and cones.
32-45-21 Page 1
May 25/01
The first digit of the inspection code is a 2 that identifies the bearing class for bearing cups
and cones.
The second digit is assigned by Timken and has no effect on the fit, function, or quality of
the part. Because the second digit can randomly change, it is shown as:
A. A dash (-) or other digit on the bearing cup or bearing cone.
B. An underscore ( _ ) on internal BFGoodrich drawings, part number control systems,

shipping documents, and in the ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST
C. The third digits "629" show the performance code that identifies bearing cups and
cones that are manufactured to a higher standard.
7. The inner and outer wheel half assemblies (85, 150) are balanced to
1 ounce-inches (72 gram-centimeters) or less at the factory. An “L” is impression
stamped on the flange of each wheel half to show the light side. Assemble the wheel
halves with the “L” on each wheel half as near to 180o apart as possible.
8. Necessary balance weights (115, 160) are installed on the inner and outer wheel half
assemblies (85, 150).

EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS:
NOTE: Equivalent replacements can be used for listed items, but not for dry nitrogen.
- Inflation cage
- Dry nitrogen
- Inflation gauge
- Soap solution
- Water
WARNING: A TIRE EXPLOSION CAN BE CAUSED BY OVERINFLATION. INFLATE TIRES

INSIDE A METAL CAGE.
WARNING: A CHEMICAL REACTION OF ATMOSPHERIC OXYGEN AND VOLATILE

GASES FROM THE TIRE INNER-LINER IS POSSIBLE. THIS REACTION CAN
CAUSE A TIRE EXPLOSION DURING SOME OVERHEATED WHEEL
CONDITIONS. TO DECREASE THIS RISK, INFLATE WHEEL AND TIRE
ASSEMBLIES WITH DRY NITROGEN FOR TESTING, STORAGE, AND
ON-AIRCRAFT USE (REF. PART 39 OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION
REGULATIONS).
1. TUBELESS TYPE TIRE TEST:
A. Put the wheel and tire assembly inside a metal safety cage. Locate the inflation
pressure source, with a regulator valve and pressure gauge 30 feet (10 meters) away
from the safety cage. Connect the inflation line to the inflation valve.
B. Inflate the tire with dry nitrogen to the specified operation pressure (refer to the
manufacturer’s Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM)). If the value of the pressure is
not available, pressure test the wheel and tire assembly at:
TIRE SIZE INFLATION PRESSURE

8.50-10 8-PLY 50 - 55 p.s.i.g. (3,4 - 3,8 bars)
8.50-10 10-PLY 65 - 70 p.s.i.g. (4,5 - 4,8 bars)
Figure 101. Tire Test Pressures
C. Keep the wheel and tire assembly in storage for three hours. After the three hours,
measure the inflation pressure.
(1) If the inflation pressure is not less than 95% of the specified inflation pressure,
inflate the wheel and tire assembly again to specified inflation pressure and put
into storage for 12 hours.
32-45-21 Page 101

May 25/01
(2) If the inflation pressure is less than 95% of the specified inflation pressure, apply
a solution of soap and water around the tire beads and inflation valve assembly.
Look for bubbles as an indication of leaks. After the inspection procedure, use
water to flush the soap solution off the parts. If leaks are found, repair the wheel
and tire assembly and repeat paragraph 1.
D. After the 12 hour storage time, measure the inflation pressure.

1. TIRE CHANGE INSPECTION:
NOTE: Replace all preformed packings at each tire change or wheel NDT inspection.
A. Wheel Half Inspection:
(1) Visually inspect the wheel half assemblies (85, 150) for damage caused by
nicks, dents, cracks, corrosion, and damage. Repair damage. Do not repair
worn, polished areas that are rubbed by the tire (refer to the REPAIR section).
Discard a wheel half that shows signs of rolling contact with the runway.
(2) Visually inspect the wheel half assemblies for corrosion. Corrosion is most
likely to occur in the tubewell and beadseat areas (where the tire touches the
wheel), in holes, and other areas where moisture and contamination can
collect. Repair corroded areas (refer to the REPAIR section).
(3) Visually examine the wheel half assemblies for areas where the paint or
surface treatment is worn through to bare metal. If the wheel will not be
overhauled at this time, apply surface treatment and paint to the worn areas
(refer to paragraphs 5, 6, and 7 in the REPAIR section).
B. Examine for a loose valve stem nut (45). Torque a loose valve stem nut to 30 - 40
pound-inches (3,4 - 4,5 Nm).
C. Visually examine each bolt (75) for cracks, surface damage, and thread damage.
Discard a defective bolt.
Page 502
32-45-21 May 25/01
CHECK
D. Nut Inspection:
(1) Visually examine each nut (65, 110, 155) for thread damage and cracks.
Discard a damaged nut.
(2) Examine nuts (65, 110, 155) for self-locking function. Install a clean, dry nut on
a clean dry bolt (75, 120, 165) as far as possible by hand. If the end of the bolt
extends beyond the top of the nut, measure the back-off torque of the nut as
follows:
Turn the nut onto a bolt two or three threads past the end of the nut. Use a
torque wrench to remove the nut and measure the back-off torque.
(a) Replace the tie bolt nut (65) if the back-off torque is less than
6.5 pound-inches (0,73 Nm).
(b) Replace the balance weight nut (110, 155) if the back-off torque is
less than 2.0 pound-inches (0,23 Nm).
E. Bearing Inspection:
Clean the bearings (refer to the CLEANING section). Visually inspect bearing
surfaces of bearing cups (140, 185) and bearing cones (25, 10) as follows (refer to
Figure 502).
NOTE: Incorrect bearing grease or axle nut torque can cause some of the defects
that follow.

CHECK
(1) Spalled Surface - Discard a bearing cone or bearing cup with a spalled surface
(pieces of the surface are missing).
(2) Nicks or Dings - Discard a bearing cone or the bearing cup with damage that is
deep enough to be felt with a fingernail or with a single-edged razor blade.
Small damage that cannot be felt with a fingernail or razor blade is permitted.
(3) Incorrect Color - Discard a bearing cone or bearing cup that has black, dark
blue, and purple stains on the wear surface, which are signs of overheat.
Brown or yellow stains that can be removed easily with abrasive cloth (400 grit
or finer) are permitted.
(4) Etched Surface - Discard a bearing cone or bearing cup that has water stains
that have etched a wear surface. An etched surface is dull and rough. Water
stain discoloration without an etched surface is permitted.
(5) Roller End Damage - Discard a bearing cone if the thrust surface on the large
end of the rollers has chips, smears, scores, metal pick-up, incorrect color, or
other damage. This surface should be smooth, but not shiny.
(6) Scored Bearing Cone - Discard a bearing cone if it has turned sufficiently on
the axle to cause wear on the inner diameter of the bearing cone.
(7) Cage Damage - Discard a bearing cone if the cage is dented, bent, or has too
much wear in the roller pockets or has a polished or worn surface on the cage
arm. Do not straighten a bent cage.
(8) If a bearing cone is damaged in service and is replaced, also replace the
mating bearing cup (refer to the REPAIR section).
NOTE: Replacement of the bearing cup is not necessary if a bearing cone was
damaged or dented after it was removed from the wheel half.
(9) Inspect each bearing cup (140, 185) for movement in the wheel half assemblies
(85, 150). If a 0.002 inch (0,051 mm) feeler gauge can be put into a clearance
between the bearing cup and the bottom of the bearing bore, remove the
bearing cup to permit inspection and possible repair of the bearing bore (refer
to Figure 604)
CAUTION: DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GREASE AS THIS CAN

CAUSE DECREASED BEARING LIFE.
(10) Immediately fill satisfactory bearing cones and cups with bearing grease (Mobil
Aviation Grease SHC 100, Aeroshell 5 or Mobilgrease 28). Wrap them in oil
proof paper or plastic film until they are installed in the wheel. When bearing
parts are examined or filled with grease, use the recommended procedures that
follow:
Page 504
32-45-21 May 25/01
CHECK
(a) Keep a clean work area. Wrap clean bearing cones in new oil-proof paper
or plastic film to prevent the collection of contamination.
(b) Hold clean bearing parts with rubber gloves.
(c) Clean the bearing cones only with a clean cloth that has no lint.
(d) Keep the grease supply clean. Discard contaminated grease.
F. Seal Assembly Inspection:
(1) Visually examine the rubber lip on the seal assembly (20). Discard a seal that
is bent or has a rubber lip that is cracked, nicked, gouged, damaged by heat,
or is too hard or too worn to work correctly.
(2) Use the fixture as shown in Figure 503 to measure the lip height of each seal
assembly (20). Discard a seal with a lip height that is less than the minimum.
NOTE: Seal assemblies need time (8 hours) after they are removed to return
to their correct shape.

CHECK
G. Visually inspect the preformed packings (80) and the grommet (55) for cracks,
gouges, and cuts. Discard a defective preformed packing or grommet. Satisfactory
preformed packings and grommets must have a slight stretch to be installed.
NOTE: It is recommended to replace preformed packings and the grommet at each

tire change and wheel assembly overhaul.
NOTE: Preformed packings are compressed during use and need time (48 hours)
after they are removed to return to their correct shape.
H. Torque Key Inspection:
(1) Visually examine each torque key (100) for wear and loss of chrome plating on
the non-wear surfaces. If the plating is gone, replace the torque key.
(2) Examine the each torque key (100) in the area where the brake disk lugs
contact the key. Replace a torque key that is cracked, broken, or worn to less
than the minimum thickness of 0.075 inch (1,91 mm) (refer to Figure 504).

CHECK
2. WHEEL NON-DESTRUCTIVE TEST (NDT) INSPECTION:
A. Do a tire change inspection (refer to paragraph 1, TIRE CHANGE INSPECTION).
WARNING: PENETRANT FLUIDS (ASTM E1417 TYPE I) ARE DANGEROUS TO THE

SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. SKIN AND EYE PROTECTION
IS NECESSARY. PREVENT REPEATED CONTACT WITH THE FLUIDS
OR CONTACT FOR A LONG TIME. GOOD GENERAL AIR FLOW IS
USUALLY SUFFICIENT.
B. Eddy current, or penetrant (ASTM E1417 Type I) inspect the wheel halves (145, 190)
for cracks or corrosion (refer to Figures 501, 501A and 505).
NOTE: It is necessary to remove the paint and primer for penetrant inspection. It is not
necessary to remove the paint or primer for eddy current inspection.
Eddy Current Inspection:
(1) Remove all dirt and grease from the outer and inner wheel halves (145, 190). If
the paint has no visible scratches, chips, and cracks, removal of the paint is not
necessary.
(2) Calibrate the eddy current equipment to detect a 0.120 inch (3,05 mm) long by
0.030 inch (0,76 mm) deep by 0.005 - 0.008 inch (0,13 - 0,20 mm) wide elox
notch. An elox notch is produced by electrical discharge machining.
If an adjustable "aircraft wheel inspection machine" is used, operate it at a

lower frequency (100 - 200 kHz) with applicable decreased gain (amplitude or
sensitivity). The lower frequency gives a stronger indication of cracks and
decreases the number of repairs that are necessary to get a satisfactory
eddy current inspection.
If a contoured differential-coil beadseat probe is used, the same probe can be

used for eddy current inspection of bead seats of the inner and outer wheel
halves. Use the inner or outer wheel half as a guide to make the probe.
(3) Wheel halves with an eddy current signal that is equal to or greater than the
calibration signal can have a crack and must be removed from service for more
inspection.
(4) Examine the beadseat and tie bolt areas shown in Figure 505. Inspection of all
other areas is recommended.
NOTE: The inner and outer wheel halves have the same beadseat contour.

3. HELI-COIL INSERT INSPECTION:
Examine for thread damage and for correct operation of the internal thread-locking
element of each Heli-Coil insert (105). Install a new, clean, dry screw (95) into the Heli-
Coil insert. If the torque necessary to turn the screw through the locking element is less
than 2 pound-inches (0.2 Nm), replace the Heli-Coil insert (refer to the REPAIR section).
4. INSPECTION OF AN OVERHEATED WHEEL:
NOTE: The hardness inspections are only for wheels that have been overheated. The
paint on an overheated wheel will be light brown in color.
A. Measure the hardness on a flat surface between the mounting bolt holes on the
mating surface of the inner wheel half (45) and on the end of the hub. If the
hardness is less than 50 BHN, or equivalent; replace the wheel half.
B. If the inner wheel half is replaced, measure the hardness on the outer wheel half
(190). Measure the hardness on a flat surface between the mounting bolt holes on
the mating surface and on the end of the hub. If the hardness is less than 50 BHN
or equivalent, replace the wheel half.
5. INSPECTION OF A WHEEL THAT HAS ROLLED WITH A FLAT TIRE:
Inspect wheels that have rolled with a flat tire and caused damage to the tire body:
A. Inspect each wheel half (145, 190) for an out-of-round condition. Measure around the
outer diameter of each flange. If the difference between the largest and smallest
diameter value is more than 0.030 inch (0,76 mm), discard the wheel half.
Page 508
32-45-21 May 25/01
CHECK
B. Penetrant or eddy current examine each wheel half. Discard a cracked wheel half.
C. Examine the flange area on the two wheel halves for damage on the outer diameter
(refer to Figure 506). Replace a wheel half that cannot be repaired to the limits of
Figure 601 in the REPAIR section.

1. WHEEL HALF REPAIR:
CAUTION: TO DECREASE THE RISK OF CRACKS, DO NOT MAKE SHARP

CHANGES IN CONTOUR ON A ROUGH SURFACE
A. Locally blend repair corrosion, scratches, or nicks to the limits shown in Figure 601.
Use #320 abrasive cloth to remove the damage. Use #400 or finer abrasive cloth to
make the surface very smooth.
NOTE: A “blend” repair is done with hand tools to remove the damaged material. The
repair is done with a very slow change in contour from the repaired surface to
the adjacent initial surface(s).
B. Repair can be made to two sides of a section as long as the total material removed
from the two sides is not more than the limits shown in Figure 601.
C. Repairs can be made adjacent to each other if the blended areas do not touch. A
blended area cannot be more than 3 inches (76,2 mm) in length.

Axle Nut Torque:
1. Turn the wheel in the direction the axle nut is tightened and torque the axle nut to 25
pound-feet (33,9 Nm) to correctly set the bearings.
2. Loosen the axle nut to zero torque.
3. Turn the wheel in the direction the nut is tightened and torque the axle nut at the same
time to 12 pound-feet (16,3 Nm) in one continuous turn of the axle nut. This will prevent
incorrect indication of break-away torque that will occur from
stop-and-start turning of the axle nut.
If locking holes are not aligned, continue to tighten the nut to the closest locking hole.
Lock the axle nut by correct locking procedures.

1. PURPOSE:
This section gives illustration and parts breakdown of all parts of the assembly(ies) shown
on the title page which can be disassembled, repaired or replaced, and reassembled.
Modification, addition, or deletion in the parts list table is shown by an “R” at the left of
the item number column.
2. EXPLANATION AND USE OF THE SECTION:
A. Item Numbers:
The item number identifies a part in all sections of the manual. The item number for
a part usually does not change, except for alpha variants explained below.
B. Alpha Variant Item Numbers:
NOTE: An "Alpha Variant" is an alphabetic letter which follows the item number, and
which "varies" (changes) each time that the item number is repeated in the
parts list.
Alpha variants A-Z (except I and O) are assigned to existing items number when
necessary to show:
(1) Added items
(2) Service Bulletin modifications
(3) Configuration differences
(4) Optional parts
(5) Product improvement parts (non-Service Bulletin)
Alpha variant letters are shown in the figures only to identify parts that have a
different appearance or location from the initial parts.
C. Items Not Illustrated:
Items that are not illustrated are indicated by a dash (-) ahead of the item number in
the FIGURE & ITEM NUMBER column.

D. Assembly Order Indenture System:
The parts list shows how the parts are related to other parts in each assembly or
subassembly. The number of spaces that the part name is indented in the
NOMENCLATURE column is shown by periods before the part name. Refer to the
example that follows, which shows how each part or subassembly is related to the
next higher assembly or subassembly.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (Spaces that the part name is indented)

Assembly (End Item)
. Detail parts of the assembly
. Subassembly
. Parts that attach the subassembly
.. Detail parts of the subassembly
... Detail installation parts for subassembly (included only if installation parts can be
returned to the shop as part of the assembly.)
E. Parts Replacement Data:
The interchangeability of the parts is described in the NOMENCLATURE column by

the following terms:
TERM ABBREVIATION DEFINITION

Alternate Alt This part will functionally replace the specified
part, but is a different size, is installed
differently, or must be used with added parts.
Optional Opt This part is optional and interchangeable with
the specified part.
Superseded by Supsd By The part is replaced by a specified part and is
not interchangeable with that part.
Supersedes Supsds The part replaces a specified part and is not
interchangeable with that part.

F. Service Bulletin Incorporation:
Assemblies, sub-assemblies, and detail parts that are subject to modification,

deletion, addition, or replacement by an issued service bulletin are annotated to show
both pre- and post-service bulletin configuration. The term (PRE SB XXXX) in the
Nomenclature column designates the original configuration, and the term (POST SB
XXXX) identifies assemblies and parts after service bulletin modification has been
completed.
(1) Subassemblies and detail parts that are used on assemblies that show the
pre- or post-Service Bulletin notation will not show the same notation if the EFF.
CODE column clearly shows their pre- or post-Service Bulletin status.
(2) End-item assemblies that are modified by a Service Bulletin without assignment
of a new part number (no production equivalent of the modified assembly) will
not show pre- or post-Service Bulletin notation.
(3) A subassembly or detail part is modified by a Service Bulletin, with no

assignment of a new part number, will have the original part number shown with
an alpha-variant item number and the term (POST SB XXXX). The effectivity
code remains the same as for the pre-Service Bulletin configuration.
G. Effectivity Code:
Reference Letters (A,B,C, etc.) are assigned in the EFF. CODE column to each
end-item. The reference letter of the applicable end item assembly is also shown for
each detail part and subassembly. If the EFF. CODE column is blank, the detail or
subassemblies can be used on all assemblies in this manual.
H. Quantity Per Assembly:
The UNITS PER ASSY column usually shows the total number of parts that are
necessary for each per assembly, subassembly, or sub-subassembly as applicable.
The letters “AR” identify parts that are “as required” (for bulk items).
The letters “RF” identify parts that are given for reference purposes.
The letters “NP” identify parts that are “not procurable” (Order its next higher
assembly).
The letters “SP” identify parts that are a “service part” that are not part of the
end-item assembly.

I. Vendor Codes:
NOTE: If a part has a vendor code (CAGE) number (V01556, for example) in the
“NOMENCLATURE” column of the ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST, that part is
FAA approved as part of the BFGoodrich Quality Assurance System.
Sources of these parts, other than BFGoodrich, must have alternate FAA
approval under Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 21).
