## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON DIS-ASSEMBLY OF THE RT MAIN LANDING GEAR TRUNNION, THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE MAIN GEAR RETAINER ASSY IN PLACE IN THE TRUNNION WAS REMOVED AND FOUND EXTREMELY CORRODED. FAILURE OF THIS BOLT WOULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THE GEAR RETAINER TO FALL OUT RESULTING IN A COLLAPSE OF THE LANDING GEAR SUPPORT.
