## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING DAILY INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT, THE NR3 MAIN WHEEL ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND TO HAVE 4 MISSING TIE BOLTS. THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT, AN AXLE INSPECTION WAS CARRIED OUT AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. AFTER INVESTIGATION, THE OVERHAUL PROCEDURE HAS BEEN REVISED TO DISCARD TIE BOLTS AND NUTS DURING WHEEL OVERHAUL/REPAIR. THE WHEEL OVERHAUL TASK CARD HAS ALSO BEEN REVISED TO INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION. (TC NR 20070913004)
