Grove nose, nut torque
The design of the Grove nose wheel means the nut torque should not effect preload. Did you guys tighten the axle nut on the nose to the full AN6 setting or something less? 160 in lbs seems high for what this bolt needs to do, there are no specification in the Grove instructions as far a setting.
Just curious, setting 160 in lbs does not seem to effect the spin of the tire, I just though this might cause stress on the other part that are not needed.
UPDATE: Grove said tighten this like every other bolt on the aircraft, in other words proper torque.
Cheers
