## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON WALKAROUND AT NLG UPPER TORQUE LINK, RT SIDE INNER SLEEVE CRACKED.  CRACK STARTED FROM SMALL RADIUS NOTCH AND GOES TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE CAUSING SEPARATION OF PART.  WHEN NLG DISCONNECTED, OUTER SLEEVE FOUND CRACKED AND NO GREASE PRESENT, ZEUS FITTING WOULD NOT TAKE GREASE.  ICE FOUND IN SPRING COIL AND SLEEVE.  SLEEVE REPLACED.
