Hi all, I mounted my Desser tires and Leakstop tubes today on my Grove main wheels and Matco nose wheel.  A couple of observations/questions.

 

The valve stem on the nose wheel tube has a washer and nut on it tight to the tube.  Matco's drawing doesn't really show where the washer should go, but as far as I can tell, it has to go between the tube and the nut which fits in the nose wheel slot.  Has anyone else come across this?

  

2nd observation.  The Grove main wheels have nylon lock nuts which I replaced when I torqued the wheel bolts.  The Matco wheel has metal lock nuts.  I would think that due to heat from the brakes the main wheels should have the metal lock nuts.  Does this seem reasonable or of no consequence?

  

Thx,  Rick

Can't help with Q1 but for Q2: Â I have seen plastic lock nuts on brake calipers melted due to brake heat. Â So metal nuts are called for on the calipers. Â If you mean the nuts holding the wheel halves together, I'd expect much less issue there, but if you're concerned then go with metal.

I threw the nut and washer in the trash.
