## Discrepancy

DURING NORMAL INSPECTION, HEAVY CORROSION WAS FOUND ON BOTH MAIN LANDING GEAR HOUSING`S UNDER AND AROUND CLAMPS SECURING LANDING LIGHTS AND HYDRAULIC HOSES AND TUBES.  REMOUND CLAMPS FOUND CLAMP WHERE INSTALLED PRIOR TO FINAL PAINT WITH NO PRIMER OR ANY CORROSION PROTECTION, CLAMPS ARE STAINLESS STEEL HOUSINGS ARE ALUMINUM.  REMOVE CLAMP AND PRIMED AND PAINT BETWEEN SURFACES.  NOTE: CKD SECOND AC, BOTH MAIN GEAR HOUSINGS HAVE SAME CORROSION.
