## Discrepancy

HOSE PART NUMBERS ARE INCORRECT IN THE PARTS MANUAL.  FOUND THIS OCCURRENCE ON ONE OTHER (429CA, S/N 4636092) PA46350P.  HOSES IN THE AFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOUND LEAKING THROUGH BRAIDING AND AT FITTINGS ENOUGH TO HAVE FLUID AT AND UP TO SEVERAL BULKHEADS FORWARD OF LEAK AREA.  SUBMITTER STATED A MORE FLEXIBLE HOSE (SMALLER OD) OR AN ANGLE FITTING ON HOSE WOULD REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
