## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHEN WE WERE REPLACING THE TIRE ASSEMBLY ON THE R/H MLG, WE NOTICED THAT THE AXLE P/N 0541199-1 HAS SOME PLAY (BOTH UP AND DOWN AND ROTATIONAL) ON THE MAIN LANDING GEAR. THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE AXLE ON WAS WAS TIGHT. WE TRIED A NEW AXLE AND IT WENT ON VERY EASILY AND THE OLD ONE CAME OFF JUST BY HAND. WHICH WE ARE NOT USED TO. WE CONTACTED CESSNA TECH SUPPORT AND WE REINSTALLED THE AXLE WITH. LOCTITE EA 9309NA AERO AS PER THE MM ALTERNATE METHOD. (TC# 20190729014)
