Has anyone gone with the Cleveland recommended Mobil SHC100 Aviation

grease for their wheel bearings? Any source for less than the 4lb can

SkyGeek sells for about 45 bucks?

Wheel bolt torque for the Matco NW511.25 nose wheel. Not one scrap of

paper came with mine besides the invoice. Can't find anything on their

website. I'm guessing some where around 90-100 in/lb, but would like

to get it right.

There was a several page pamphlet that came with my nose wheel.

Unfortunately, it's at the hangar or I would give you a quick response.

I'll try to remember to look for it the next time I head to the hangar.  I

would just give Matco a quick call or drop them an email if you need a quick

answer.



Here's something I found on Tim's site

(http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20090120/index.html):



Some tips from Matco on installation (Thanks Phil)

Per Phil's talk with Matco:



"I just got off the phone with Matco and thought I'd pass along some

information that is not included in their documentation."

1) The wheel halves should be torqued to 99 inches.  This is more than a

standard AN-4 bolt (50-70 inches).



2) Hand tight is probably too tight.  You should be able to get the seals to

hold position (when rotating the wheel in the correct direction) before

reaching the maximum you can tighten by hand tight.



3) Be sure to lubricate the seals and mating surfaces with grease, this will

help them hold position.



4) Once you put weight on the nose wheel, the friction of the bearing will

help hold the seals in place too.



5) Make sure there is no grease between the seal and the nut.  This friction

will help hold the seal in place.

I'm not 100% sure this is the link they sent me, but I think it is.   It is under section H.

I did call them several times to confirm the 99 inches because I couldn't find it documented anywhere.
