Awarded on: July 8, 2007 - 1V6-KBGD - N734GR (C172N) - Mark, Stephanie and I depart Colorado for our trip home. It's a sad day! We don't want to leave the mountains, but at least we get to fly again. Tailwinds and Good grounds speeds all the way to Borger, Tx. for our Fuel Stop. Turns our to be more than a fuel stop. We have a Brake/Wheel problem while taxing back for take off. We shut down on the taxiway and call for asistance. The right main brake disc is warped or out of alignment, causeing major wobble and shaking and at time it catches on the wheel pant mounting. No obvious damage at all. unable to push or tow plane back to ramp. We had to remove the wheel pant and Brake Caliper for the brake disc to clear enough for us to tow the plane back to the ramp, very slowly. It's sunday, No A&P on duty. Hangar the Aircraft and have to drive to Amarillo, Tx for a one way rental car to return to the Dallas, Tx area. Very Long Day.
