## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON ARRIVAL, REPORTED SMOKE/FLUID COMING FROM THE RT OTBD WHEEL AND IT WAS WOBBLING. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS SUSPECTED THAT THE RT OTBD MAIN WHEEL INNER BEARING HAD FAILED.  OVERHEAT/MECHANICAL DAMAGE WAS FOUND ON THE WHEEL, AXLE AND BRAKE. RT LANDING GEAR AXLE, WHEELS AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. IT WAS THE BEARING, OUTER PN 29675-20629 IPC REF 32-48-32-1-40B WHICH FAILED, NOT THE INNER BEARING
