REFLECTOR: Flat wrench

[Scott Derrick]

I don't understand all this concern with the nose wheel nut?

I kick the tire when I preflight to verify its not loose.  Its always tight.

I removed the fork every annual and regrease the washers, retighten the nut.

I think I have tightened it once other than at the annual inspection, I had 
taxied through lots of water and snow for a couple months and it got loose.

I  put 100 to 125 hours a year on my plane.
