Changing a tire on an airplane requires removal of the brake
assembly, perhaps splitting the wheel halves and installing
the new tire on the old wheel and properly torquring the
wheel bolts. Then the wheel must be installed after packing
the cleaned and inspected wheel bearing.

Changing a tire on an airplane is more like changing the
front hub on a car.

Okay...now describe the steps and skills involved in doing a brake job.
