## Discrepancy

DURING NORMAL FLAP ACTUATOR INSPECTION, FLAP SUPPORTS AT FLAP STA 19.405 WERE FOUND TO NOT ACCEPT GREASE TO THE BEARINGS FOR THE FLAP SUPPORT HINGE, CLOSER INSPECTION ALSO REVEALED THAT THE BEARING BALL HAD CRACKED ACROSS THE LUBRICATION HOLE.  TWO BEARINGS WERE FOUND IN THIS CONDITION.  BEARINGS WERE REMOVED, LUBE PASSAGE CLEARED AND NEW BEARINGS WERE INSTALLED.
