## Discrepancy

LEFT MAIN GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER GEAR RETRACTION.  PLACED GEAR LEVER IN UPLATCH CHECK POSITION AND GEAR DOOR OPEN LIGHT CAME ON.  RECYCLED GEAR AND BOTH LIGHTS WENT OUT.  INSPECTED LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COMPONENT.  FOUND LEFT GEAR ACTUATOR END WORN EXCESSIVELY.  REMOVED AND REPLACED ROD END IAW DC-9 MM 32-32-04 AND PERFORMED LANDING GEAR EXTENSION AND RETRACTION TEST IAW DC-9 MM 32-30-00.  OPS CHECKED GOOD.
