## Discrepancy

LT OB FLAP TRACK FITTING IS CRACKED AT THE UP STOP MOUNT BARREL NUT   HOLE.  REPAIRED PER EA 1-5750-67543. THIS EA REMOVES THE 3D0011 BARREL   NUT ASSY. AND NAS578-8B RETAINER AND INSTALLS A ZERO CLEARANCE FIT PLUG IN PLACE OF THE REMOVED PARTS AND PROVIDES FOR REPETITIVE INSPECTIONS UNTIL REPLACED WITH A NEW PART WHEN AVAILABLE FROM BOEING..
