## Discrepancy

BOTH MAIN WHEELS CRACKED.  THESE ARE 3-PIECE WHEELS USED ON VARIOUS CESSNA SINGLES IN THE 1970'S.  THIS SUBMITTER FEELS A MORE LIKELY CAUSE (OTHER THAN OVERTORQUING) IS STRESS CAUSED BY PULLING SMALL AMOUNTS OF ALUMINUM THROUGH THE THREADS EACH TIME THE BOLTS ARE REMOVED WHICH TENDS TO SPREAD THE HOLE.
