## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE WEAR INDICATOR PINS WERE WEARING UNEVENLY.  IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BRAKE HAD COME APART AND WAS BADLY DAMAGED.  THE BRAKE FAILURE HAD ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL HEAT SHIELD.  BOTH THE BRAKE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES HAD TO BE REPLACED.
