## Discrepancy

(CAN) SPACER DISCOVERED CRACKED WHEN ACTUATOR WAS REMOVED FOR ACCESS TO ADDRESS ANOTHER PROBLEM. MFG DOES NOT HAVE RECORD OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE, HOWEVER THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE FOUND THIS WASHER CRACKED.  NATURE OF CRACK INDICATES IT IS BEING OVERLOADED ON THE CONICAL SURFACE RESULTING IN FRACTURE.  FAILURE OF SPACER ALLOWS MLG ACTUATOR TO BECOME LOOSE ON ITS PILLAR.
