If you have one on a car its a good idea to at least pressure wash poo poo out of it at least once. Luckily subaru rear diff swaps aren't a bad job to do, especially if you have oxy ace.

 From a FB group I visit. Turbo 700 trans in a Holden Kingswood decided to let go at 140km/h  . The fact that the driveline basically sheared itself free scares the poo poo out of me, and I am now going to make sure I check out the diff / trans clunk on the Valiant before pushing it too hard, since I'd prefer not to have to try and steer 2 tonnes of crazy out of a skid with no power steering.

That is indeed the linkage section from the end of the transmission. It has literally snapped itself free from the transmission, and taken part of the transmission case with it. Check out the rear end of the tailshaft as well. Jesus christ.

This is the right landing gear of a Citation Jet CJ2. The aircraft blew a tire on takeoff and was lucky it was on a 10,000ft runway so they aborted and stopped before the aircraft went air born. Closed our runway for about 5 hours. We had to use air bags and a dolly to get it off without doing further damage. The brake was embedded into the runway. Aircraft is currently on full jacks in a hanger awaiting parts and bags of money. Just to fix the sheet metal damage the tire did to the flap will probably take over 100 hours. The wheel and tire alone costs about $10,000. They will need to replace the strut as well and all the sheered brake lines.

As in, is that tyre failure something that could've been prevented by inspecting/testing thge tyre or is it just one of those things? I don't know anything about aircraft brakes/landing gear so this is really fascinating.

We had an A-10 do this at Davis-Monthan around 2007, except it was on landing. I wish I had photos because it was the craziest thing I'd ever seen. The radial wire from the tires was sticking out from the wheel pod and wing like hair and the jet had slid down the runway far enough that the break assembly was totally torn away and the hub where the axle went through was ground flat. It looked like someone had cut it in half with a saw. Crew chiefs were driving around with the strut in the back of their little flightline pickup showing it off. -Zydeco- fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Jul 31, 2013 |

That is hydraulic fluid on the ground it's not immersed in fluid it's dry plates. When the tire blew it took out the brake lines and lost all brake pressure. They used about 6000ft to stop the aircraft and almost put it in the grass. That brake cut a groove in the runway about 6000ft long. The tires were almost new according to the pilots. I think the brake seized and got hot and blew the tire.

Citations (and all bizjets I would imagine) are just ways to move money from your bank account to the aether. The we use for distance stuff at work costs several thousands of dollars a day just to own, even if it doesnt turn a wheel.

drat we had the driveshaft support bearing in our ChumpCar go out at the last race, luckily at the slowest part of the track ~40mph. If it would have lasted another 20 seconds or so it would have gone out at ~120 and I wonder what kind of damage it would have done.

Aircraft tires are generally replaced on an "as needed" basis, usually once the tread has worn past a certain point or if there are visible signs of flat spotting or abnormal wear on the tire. Generally, tires are pretty reliable (most blown tires are due to something puncturing the tire, or pilot error or an anti-skid failure locking the brakes on landing) as long as they're properly inflated, but underinflated aircraft tires have a nasty habit of blowing out at high speed on takeoff and causing all kinds of mayhem and accidents.

wallaka posted:Looks like a pretty typical tread separation. You mean how the underneath layers are bulging out in a section, stretching and breaking the dryrotted tread layer? I can see the lower layers peeking through the distended treads. According to the mighty Google the company that made those tyres closed shop in 1996. They still have great tread and even have the little white arrows drawn on for valve location so I don't think they had a very hard life. It's just advanced old age.

If they are pre 2000 they may be a 3 digit code: http://www.barrystiretech.com/dotcoding.html I bought a cheap set if part worns off eBay a year back with a 3 digit, good tread but no way I was fitting them to anything!

Those are for tires sold in North America - he may not have DOT codes on his tires if that exact tire wasn't sold here.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if tire codes were international or not. Or even if this tire (which, knowing this car, is probably made from the skin of Chinese political dissidents) has anything like that. Hopefully it is DOT legal, then it's easy!
