What was found

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION, NOTICED THAT THE LT AND RT BRAKE CABLES WERE BADLY FRAYED WHERE THEY PASS THROUGH THE LOWER FAIRLEADS (P/N 1-2259) ON THE AXLE STRUTS. FURTHER INSPECTION, REVEALED FRAYING OF THE CABLE BACK INSIDE THE SHEATHING UNDER THE BOOT COWL. THIS FRAYING COULD ONLY BE DETECTED BY REMOVING THE AFFECTED CABLE ASSEMBLY. BOTH CABLES REPLACED.
