## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION REPLACEMENT OF MLG BRACE LINK ROD END BOLT TO TRUNNION HOUSING, FOUND OLD STYLE CLEVIS HEAD BOLT, PN 400-810, INSTALLED.  IF REPLACEMENT WITH NEW STYLE HEX HEAD BOLT, PN 3772202, IS DONE, THE GEAR DOOR RETRACT ROD WILL NOT CLEAR BOLT HEAD DURING RETRACTION/EXTENSION.
