## Discrepancy

UPON TEAR-DOWN INSPECTION OF LT MLG ACTUATOR, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WERE NOTED:  1.  TOTAL ACTUATOR EXTENSION WAS 8 INCHES COMPARED TO TOTAL EXTENSION ON THE GOOD RT ACTUATOR OF 9.5 INCHES.  2.  AFTER REMOVAL, ACTUATOR WAS FROZEN TO TURNING AND AFTER FREEING ALL IMPACT DAMAGE, ACTUATORS STILL FROZEN AND THEN RACTHATY IN MOVEMENT.  3.  FURTHER DISASSEMBLY REVEALED THREAD DAMAGE TO THE UPPER THREADS OF NUT ASSY.  THIS THREAD DAMAGE WOULD CAUSE THE ACTUATOR TO BIND AND NOT FULLY EXTEND THE LT GEAR.  CYCLES, 25.
