## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS INDUCTED INTO A PHASE 1,2, 5A & B INSPECTION. DURING THE INSPECTION THE ENGINE IGNITERS WERE TO BE REMOVED. WHILE REMOVING THE IGNITERS OF THE NR 2 ENGINE, THE OUTBOARD IGNITER BECAME STUCK ON THE FLOATING WASHER IN THE COMBUSTION LINER. THE IGNITER BROKE FREE FROM THE FLOATING WASHER AND THE WASHER SLID TO THE BOTTOM OF THE COMBUSTION LINER. THE COMBUSTION LINER WAS REMOVED TO FACILITATE REWELDING OF THE FLOATING WASHER AND REINSTALLED.
