## Discrepancy

(CAN) CARGO HOOK WOULD NOT RELEASE ELECTRICALLY OR MANUALLY.  THE LOCKING MECHANISM WOULD NOT ROTATE WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY ALTHOUGH THE SOLENOID, HEARD CLICKING RELEASING THE TORQUE ON THE RELEASE LEVER BUSHING THRU BOLT, ALLOWED THE HOOK TO WORK PROPERLY.  MISMACHINED PARTS, EITHER THE LEVER FULCRUM IS TOO WIDE OR ITS BUSHING NOT WIDE ENOUGH ALLOWING THE SIDE PLATE TO CLAMP IT SOLID.  PART TC:  30.
