## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: ON LANDING ROLLOUT AND TAXI IN THE LEFT BREAK WAS NOT RELEASING NORMALLY CAUSING VERY ABRUPT NOSE POSITION CHANGES. LEFT MAIN BRAKE TEMPS HAD A SPLIT OF 140 DEGREES WITH RIGHT SIDE OF LEFT MAIN BEING HOTTER. MAINTENANCE BLED THE #1 AND #2 WHEEL BRAKES PER AMM 32-42-00-870-001-A AND ACCOMPLISHED A SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK.
