Additions to Vic Syracuse's Sport Aviation article this month
      
      I sent this to the editor today.
      
      Vic Syracuse did a good job on care and feeding of tires and brakes in the
      Feb 2021 issue, but please allow me to add my top tips.  Change tires and
      tubes in a clean area of your hangar, so grit and metal chips won=99t
       get
      trapped between tire carcass and tube.  Baby powder contains oils that will
      attack your tubes, Brown Aircraft EC880 silicone powder is a better
      choice.  Reinstall valve cap right after inflating, so grit doesn=99t
       get
      into valve causing leaks.  New molded seals 154-13000 are superior to oiled
      felt washers used on common 5=9D wheels in keeping grit out of bearin
      gs.
      Upgrade Nitrile caliper piston O-rings to Viton or Fluorosilicone for high
      temperature resistance to compression set.  Modern wheel weights are no
      longer Lead, they are Steel or Zinc and a lot more are needed to balance.
      MIL-H-5606 fluid has been superseded by fully compatible far less flammable
      MIL-PRF-87257 fluid.  Mobil SHC100 is the Parker Hannifin preferred bearing
      grease.  Use high temperature ceramic grease on anchor pins going into
      torque plate.
