## Discrepancy

AFTER LANDING, TAXIIED TO REPAIR SERVICE, THE NOSE STRUT BOTTOMS OUT, STOPPED AT RAMP.  EXITED AC, NOTED A LARGE PUDDLE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID AROUND NLG.  JACKED AC UP, NOTICED THE LARGE CRACK IN THE LOWER STRUT HOUSING, STARTING FROM BACK SIDE OF TORQUE KNEE ATTACH FITTING ON THE LOWER STRUT BODY.  REMOVED NLG ASSY, DISASSEMBLED, INSP PN E51L858501 INNER BODY AND PN 52 NBC2064YZP BEARING CRACKED.  THE CRACKS LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD STARTED BEFORE.  PROBABLE CAUSE: NOT DISCONNECTING SICCORS PRIOR TO TOWING AC.  (SW01200502590)
