## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON TAKEOFF THE CREW REPORTED THAT THE RT GEAR WOULD NOT REMAIN LOCKED. ACFT RETURNED TO BASE AND UPON MX INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE UP-LOCK HOOK BEARING AND ATTACHING HARDWARE WERE MISSING. IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT THE UP-LOCK HOOK SHAFT ATTACH POINTS HAD BEEN MARRED. THIS LEADS US TO BELIEVE THAT THE BEARING WAS INSTALLED AND EITHER THE BEARING OR BOLT FAILED. FAILED PARTS WERE REPLACED - GEAR SWINGS CARRIED OUT AND ACFT RETURNED SERVICE.
