Need a brake?
We all know how much I need a break during the day. Well, today we needed a different kind of brake. One of the brake lines between the tires on the right main wheel assembly seemed to be leaking a bit. With 50 pax on board we had to deplane and call for a quick brake job.
Here is our new brake assembly. There is one of these for each wheel. I don't want to know what it's worth.
All we need now is a quick torque to spec.....
Lock wire the lugnut and we are done. Actually WE didn't do anything except watch the maintenance guys work hard. Every brake job I have ever had done has always taken well over 2 hours. These guys were done in 25 minutes.
kick the tires........light the fires we're outta here.

Were the brakes having problems because of one of your landings?? Just wondering. It's a valid question.
Wore your brakes out, already???
I was told you have to use the gears more to slow down, then the brakes will last longer!!! ha ha ha
