## Discrepancy

ARM ON CRANK ASSEMBLY SPUN ON SHAFT ALLOWING LANDING GEAR AND DOOR TO COME OUT OF SYNC.  LANDING GEAR DOOR CLOSED PRIOR TO GEAR GOING UP.  GEAR BOUND ON CLOSED DOOR CAUSING NUMEROUS PARTS OF MECHANICAL LINKAGE TO BE DAMAGED.  AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  SUGGEST CLOSER INSPECTION OF THIS PART DURING SCHEDULED INSPECTION.
