A wheel assembly, comprising:
- an inboard wheel half including a flange, the flange defining a first alignment pin opening;
- and
- an outboard wheel half defining a second alignment pin opening, wherein the first alignment pin opening and the second alignment pin opening define a volume configured to receive an alignment pin.
A wheel assembly for an aircraft, comprising:
- an inboard wheel half including a flange, the flange defining a first alignment pin opening;
- an outboard wheel half defining a second alignment pin opening;
- an alignment pin located in the first alignment pin opening and the second alignment pin opening, wherein an axial length of the alignment pin is equal to or less than an axial length extending from an inboard surface of the flange to an outboard surface of the outboard wheel half;
- and
- a fastener located through the flange and the outboard wheel half.
