## Discrepancy

DURING A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT BRAKE WEAR INDICATOR, A BROKEN BRAKE CARRIER AND LINING WAS DETECTED.  HALF OF THE BRAKE CARRIER DROPPED OUT OF ITS NORMAL POSITION WHEN THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY WAS REMOVED FOR THE BRAKE WEAR INSPECTION.  THE BRAKE WEAR WAS STILL WITHIN SERVICEABLE LIMITS.
