On the last few flights I been hearing a rubbing or binding sound with each revolution of the right main wheel as I move my RV12 in and out of the hanger. So I made the stands, lifted the plane and can feel nothing wrong as I rotate the wheel, it turns smoothly and quietly with the weight off it. Rotating it back and forth I could hear a click but that seemed to be play in the brake parts.
I put the plane back down and am still hearing the noise as I pull it with the towbar. Should I try tightening the nut a little or is it time to lift it again, clean the bearings and inspect them?
