## Discrepancy

AFTER DISASSEMBLY OF THE RT WHEEL AND BRAKE COMPONENTS FOR INSPECTION, ONE OF SIX BRAKE BLOCK (NR B27-59-D) WAS FOUND TO BE BROKEN, AND ONE OF SIX SPRING RETAINERS (NR R21-35) WAS FOUND TO BE BROKEN, AND LOOSE.  THIS CLIP (RETAINER) MAY HAVE JAMMED UNDER A BRAKE BLOCK AND CAUSED THE RT WHEEL TO DRAG EXCESSIVELY ENOUGH TO CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT.  ACTUAL TIME OF SERVICE FOR COMPONENTS ARE UNKNOWN.
