Front wheel
Note
Wheels must be rebalanced after repair, maintenance and overhaul operations.
Inspecting the wheel axle
Check the wheel shaft for straightness.
Turn the pin on a reference surface and measure maximum distortion using a feeler gauge (see Sect. 3 - 1.1,
Front
wheel).
Overhauling the wheel
After you have checked the bearings, check the rim as follows.
Visually inspect the wheel for cracks, scoring and deformation; change the wheel if damaged.
Insert the shaft in the wheel and mount it on two fixed reference blocks.
Using a dial gauge, measure rim run-out and out-of-round relative to the pin axle (see Sect. 3 - 1.1,
Front
wheel).
If the values measured are not within the tolerance limits, renew the wheel.
