The students are actually removing an older model's wheel which is different than active C-130's wheels as there was a fleet wide upgrade to the C-130's main landing brakes, which also changed the wheels. The students will learn the basics here though and re-learn the newer steps when they get to their next base for advanced training. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Pedro Tenorio)
