| Subject: | Nosewheel Breakout Force |
I am installing my nosewheel (RV9A) and attempting to set the breakout
force as specified in the construction manual.
It seems that to get to the 14 ft-lbs (22 lbs side force) I have to
crank the nut down so the two belleville washers are totally
compressed! Is this correct?
Second, the instructions say to temporarily safety the nut and move the
fork back and forth to the stops. How are you supposed to safety the
nut?? Is the fork leg supposed to be already drilled for a cotter pin?
I have a reworked leg and it isn't.
Thanks for your advice!

Yes you want to crank the nut until you have the 22 lbs side force other
wise you can wind up with some wobble especially if your tire is not
perfectly in balance. No I had to drill mine but I have a castle nut and
cotter pin not safety wire.. so if your says to safety wire it maybe
something different then mine.. good luck.. N359HW
