## Discrepancy

DURING MAINTENANCE GEAR RETRACTION A "CLICKING" NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE NOSE GEAR WHEELWELL.  THE ROLLER BEARING ON THE RT NOSE GEAR BELLCRANK WAS BROKEN AND ONLY THE INNER RACE REMAINED ON THE BOLT. THE BELLCRANK WAS REPLACED, GEARSWINGS CARRIED OUT AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE (TC NR 20080228011)
