Vic Syracuse's article comments
      
      I sent this to the Sport Aviation 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, EC880 silicone powder is a better choice.  Reinstall
      valve cap after inflating, so grit doesn=99t get into valve causing l
      eaks.
      New molded seals 154-13000 are superior to oiled felt washers used on
      common 5=9D wheels in keeping grit out of bearings.  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.  MIL-H-5606 fluid has been superseded by fully compatible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.
