## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE THE ACFT WAS BEING TOWED OFF THE RAMP A STRANGE NOISE WAS HEARD IN THE RT WHEEL AREA.  UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT 3 OF THE 6 TORQUE PLATE TO PISTON HSG RETAINING BOLTS ON THE RT INBD BRAKE UNIT HAD SHEARED. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS NOTICED. THE BRAKE UNIT WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
