## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING THE INSPECTION OF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY, A CRACK WAS DETECTED EXTENDING FROM THE PRESSED IN GREASE FITTING ON THE FORWARD ATTACH BRACKET.  THIS BRACKET ATTACHES THE NOSE GEAR ACTUATOR TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLE.  THE NEW UNIT INSTALLED HAS A THREADED TYPE GREASE FITTING, NOT THE PRESSED IN STYLE.  ATTACHED BRACKET REPLACED IAW 32 AND LANDING GEAR SWINGS REPLACED AND CHECK SERVICEABLE.
