Method of an apparatus for assembling an aircraft wheel or brake component on an axle of an undercarriage

摘要

A method of and apparatus for assembling an aircraft wheel or brake ( 10 ) component on an axle ( 26 ) of an undercarriage in which a holder ( 12 ) is provided for the component along with a lifting device ( 28 ). The lifting device is used to lift the holder with the component therein to a position where the component is substantially in axial alignment with the axle. Once in that position, assembly of the component on the axle can take place by moving the component axially on to the axle. The holder can then be lowered away from the assembled component.
