## Discrepancy

CRACK IN BEARING CAP NOTED DURING 300 HOUR INSPECTION.  THIS IS THE INBOARD SUPPORT (OF TWO) FOR THE MAIN ROTOR COLLECTIVE TORQUE TUBE.  CAP IS A MACHINED MATE TO SUPPORT BRACKET REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE SUPPORT BRACKET AS WELL AS BUNGEE BRACKET.  FACTORY REPLACEMENT IS A HEAVY DUTY SUPPORT, CAP, AND BUNGEE BRACKET.
