## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION, FOUND LT INBOARD FLAP OUTBOARD BELLCRANK WITH EXCESSVIE SIDE-TO-SIDE PLAY.  UPON REMOVAL, FOUND UPPER AND LOWER BEARINGS FROZEN AND/OR CORRODED.  A LARGE QUANTITY OF RUSTY WATER FLOWED OUT OF THE BELLCRANK TUBE.  IT APPEARS THE TUBE WAS FILLED WITH WATER AS THE BEARINGS, SPACER, AND MOUNTING BOLTS WERE FOUND CORRODED.  SUBMITTER STATED PERHAPS A DRAIN HOLE IN BELLCRANK TUBE WOULD HELP.
