I charged up a newly installed 757 main on Friday. Two regualtors, primary one set at 50 PSI above required charge pressure and slowly inflated wheel at the front of the leg as far away as I could from the wheel in question..
And Inflated it slowly!

"Hub cracks are not an issue as any cracks will allow loss of gas, and I have seen many cracked hubs rejected after return for px loss."
You WHAT?
You WHAT?
If you and the other incredulous fella have experience to the contrary feel free to share it instead of posting WTF smilies

The (potential) issue is weakened tiebolts.
Just saying, like.

Hello,
About nitrogen, I'm wondering why we can find this in the AMM:
"DO NOT PUT COMPRESSED GAS IN CONTACT WITH YOUR SKIN. THE GAS CAN GO THROUGH THE SKIN AND MAKE BUBBLES IN THE BLOOD. THIS CONDITION CAN KILL YOU."
thank you.

Why is this in the MM?
Because it is true.
If gas gets in the bloodstream it can travel to the brain and cause strokes and other nasty things which can terminate life.
There are lots of safety warnings in the books and I treat all of them with respect!

Day one, Book one, page one.....
Compressed gas will penetrate the skin and enter the body....the condition is known as embolism.....the result is that your dearly beloved gets rich quick.....when she claims on the insurance.
A rather basic safety rule I would have thought.... and generally taught in basic training ....

Most people get taught this on their first day in the training workshop. DO NOT PLAY WITH COMPRESSED AIR. Even at the fairly modest pressure that shop air runs at, it is possible for a blast of air to penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream, with fatal consequences. The old apprentice tricks of a blast of air up the back of the shirt when somebody is bending over can become less funny....
With tire pressures of 200psi or more, there is plenty of pressure in a tire or the inflation lines to do a lot of damage. It's also not good practice to deflate tires by simply removing the core and "let 'er blow". Lose the core and it can go a long way very fast, and the noise isn't well received by folks nearby either.
That said, we've, erm, all done it
