Thank you Captain Mazinyi. You make operating and working on the B.747 look so easy and educative. Hats off to you Skipper. Safe flying at all times. God bless 🙏.

If there's one thing I've learned in my life, there is nothing like having the proper tool for the job. Night and day difference when you have it and when you don't.

It's so interesting to see those hard working mechanics changed the brake unit for the aircraft. I work as a heavy duty truck mechanic and I really enjoyed watching your video captain.

Obet - Captain, Spokesman, Educator, Trailblazer!

Excellent video Captain as always! Very interesting how much work is needed “just” to change a single brake unit! Hats off for the mechanics!

Very interesting Captain! Thank you very much for show!

That’s a very good one.... this is massive men. ..weighs tons.

That it utterly amazing. Tough profession, doing this.

Thanks for sharing !

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, I didn't see it before. Thanks a lot, Cpt.

Fantastic job and nice video! Shared on my FB page "Boeing 747 The Queen of the Skies" !

Amazing💪👏

Been there, done that dozens of times. Not a brake pad, rotors and stator. Aligning the wheel to the loose rotors, is the real work, and hardest part. Easy, once you know the tricks.

Your right and they left out a few steps,, remove the hydraulic system head pressure, now remove the brake hyd. line. Reconnect it and bleed the brake. Also apply fresh grease to the wheel before putting it back on. Torque the nut and reconnecting the transducer. Did I miss anything, LOL

Did you use a spider to align the segments then apply the parking brake, or just carefully spin the wheel to pick-up the slots?

@moriver3857

2 жыл бұрын

@@125brat No. Simply align the slots at 12 O'clock, with the wheel dolly align the wheel so it would rest on the 12 O'clock slot with slight weight on it, then by pushing the top, the wheel tilts and slides in. Slacking the weight in the slot, causes the rotors to turn. Takes a bit of practice, but works. Of course with the spider is easier because you can lock the brake once aligned. In 18 years, never used it. From DC9s, DC10s, 767, and anything in between.

Amazing video, cargo flying and flying the 747 looks very fun. Have a good Christmas, and stay safe

Excelente 👌

The 4 Bolt holding the jack wheels are strong.

Good video..

I miss those days. My last plane was Boeing Charleston, SC; B-787 Flight line.

After installing the brakes you need brake bleeding for removal of air bubbles from brake assembly pistons if air bubbles exist your brake response may be sluggish.

Hope you had a good Christmas

I have to tighten the wheel on my 747. What is the torque spec of the big nut?

7:05 there is crack in on the shaft

I wonder if the brake unit is part of the actual wheel bearing? I mean on the back side of the wheel there is no bearing visible, only the big hole for the brake unit.

@fasteddie9475

2 жыл бұрын

The wheel holds the brake to the axel, the wheel inner bearing is retained in the wheel via a snap ring, only the outer bearing is removed for replacement.

Thank you for the video! Intresting as always. I feel they could've made it a bit easier for themselves, laying down the belt centered and then tilt the break unit onto it, close the belt, then hook it up. Also, why not immediately move the lift away after the wheel is in place? I am no expert for sure, but it all seemed a bit uncoordinated to me.

Awesome awesome VLOG. Question, are the brake wear indicators required to be checked during the the pilot’s preflight walk around or is it performed by a mechanic?

spoiler alert ! 01:19 you will fucking get scared

If you put it on a car, it will probably last for the rest of your life. 🙂

Actually, I would be extremely unhappy with this rather ham-fisted undertaking. The mech opened the valve on the caliper assy. hoist too quickly, and dropped the caliper assy. onto the stub axle - possible stress raiser there. Same with the wheel assy. - crashed into the brake assembly. Although not an issue really, the chap with the socket allowing it to slip on the nut causes the corners of the hex to round. 99% in aviation doesn't cut it, it has to be 100%.
