## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BOLTS WHICH ATTACH THE MLG AXLES ON BOTH SIDES HAD LOST THEIR TORQUE.  BOTH ASSEMBLIES DISASSEMBLED AND INSPECTED, NO DAMAGE FOUND. THE WHEEL FAIRING PLATES WHICH WERE INSTALLED AT THOSE LOCATIONS WERE REMOVED, (WHEEL FAIRINGS ARE NOT BEING USED).  NEW BOLTS WERE INSTALLED AND TORQUED IAW AMM.
