Years ago, I worked on a Tiger that had a very badly warped brake fairing
cover. The owner explained to me that the brakes had been worn down, he knew
the rivets were rubbing on the disk, and during the rool-out, when he applied
brakes, the wheel caught on fire. Apparently, the bad linings allowed the
caliper to unseat the O ring and brake fluid leaked out and caught on fire.
The plane I have in my shop now was leaking brake fluid. When I replaced
the linings, no leaks. My fingers are crossed.
Also, I couldn't find one piece of safety wire that was correctly installed.
If I had had a digital camera, I'd have especially taken a picture of the
oil filter installation.
I know that logically, a mechanic is a mechanic. However, if they aren't
Grumman mechanics, please keep them away from your Grumman.....
Someone who has been around Grummans for a long time stated that he thought a
particular baffle (seal) installation was fine. Here again, I know
logically that it doesn't take a rocket scientist (grin*) to install baffle seals.
However, if your mechanic doesn't know how important perfect baffle seals are
on a Grumman, go elsewhere.

This isn't in the manual. Other posters have suggested adding air until the
sidewall is just off the ground. This works out to about 35-40 psi.
Generally, when filling the tires, I go for about 38-40 psi on the mains and 35-38
on the front. Over a month or so, the tire pressure will degrade about 2-3
lbs anyway.
