## Discrepancy

RT NOSE WHEEL BEARING, CORRODED.  BEARING SEAL NOT INSTALLED ON BEARING SECURELY.  THE SEAL RESTS AGAINST THE BEARING.  WATER EASILY GETS INTO BEARING.  BEARING CORRODES AND SPINS ON AXLE.  HAD TO REPLACE AXLE.  REPAIR STATION SAID THE MANUFACTURED THE SEAL TO MFG. INSTRUCTIONS AND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM IT IS A MFG PROBLEM.
