## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE DAMAGE OCCURED AROUND THE AFT IB BEARING.  THE BEARING WAS FOUND WORN INTO BOTH THE SUPPORT ARMS 0523901-13 AND -14.  MFG OFFERS A SERVICE KIT TO REPLACE THESE BRACKETS.  SK180-44-1.  THIS KIT WAS ISSUED TO REPAIR A DEFECT OCCURING ON THE FRONT ROLLER BEARING AREAS.  NOT THE AFT.  BOTH SUPPORT BRACKETS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW DUE TO THE DAMAGE AT THE AFT PORTION (WHICH WAS FOUND TO BE EXCESSIVELY WORN.)
