What was found

SORRY FOR THE DELAY BUT WE CONTACTED T.C. AND IT SEEMS THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. WHILE CHANGING TIRES, THE WHEEL BOLT P/N NAS 145-41 WAS FOUND LOOSE. WHEN REMOVED BOLT P/N NAS 146-43 WAS FOUND BENT. ALL BOLTS WERE REPLACED. THE DISTURBING PART IS THAT THE ACFT HAD JUST BEEN RECEIVED BACK FROM INSP REBUILD AND WAS CERTIFIED AIRWORTHY.
