Tasker) 2. 06:34 PM - Re: Nosewheel Breakout Force (Tod Watkins _ ACInc.) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 03:12:41 PM PST US From: "Richard E. Tasker" Subject: RV9-List: 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!

Subject: RE: RV9-List: Nosewheel Breakout Force 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..
