## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE AILERONS WERE REMOVED AT THE ANNUAL INSP FOR BEARING REPLACEMENT. A SMALL RIP WAS FOUND IN THE INNER SEAL OF THE LT AILERON WHICH ATTACHES BETWEEN THE WING AND THE AILERON BALANCE WEIGHT ATTACHMENT. WHEN THE MS35207-XXX SCREWS WERE REMOVED THE WERE FOUND TO BE CORRODED. THE AREA WAS INSPECTED FOR CORROSION CLEANED AND NEW SCREWS INSTALLED WITH CPC GRADE 2 COMPOUND. THE RT AILERON WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND WITH SIMILAR CORROSION.
