## Discrepancy

BOTH CAPTAIN'S AND COPILOT'S RT BRAKE PEDAL - ACTION EITHER MUSHY OR NON-EXISTANT.  AFTER EXTENSIVE TROUBLESHOOTING '3 DAYS' OF PURE FRUSTRATION, THE PROBLEM WAS LOCATED IN THE FLEXIBLE HOSE BETWEEN GEAR LEG AND BRAKE ASSY.  WHEN RT BRAKE WAS APPLIED, SUFFICIENT PRESSURE WOULD PARTIALLY OPERATE CALIPERS.  THEN FLEX HOSE WOULD SWELL DROPPING THE BRAKE PRESSURE.  HOSE REPLACED.  OPS CHECK NORMAL.
