## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING GROUND HANDLING THE RT RUDDER PEDAL BRAKE ASSY SEEMED SLOPPY COMPARED TO THE LT UNIT.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE PIN THAT CONNECTS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY WORN THROUGH, THIS IS A HOLLOW SHAFT PIN ASSY.  WORN PARTS WERE REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
