## Discrepancy

RIGHT ELEVATOR TORQUE TUBE CORRODED OUT OF LIMITS.  FOUND DURING COMPLETE PAINT PROCESS.  REMOVED TORQUE TUBE DUE TO LEVEL 2 CORROSION.  INSTALLED NEW TORQUE TUBE PN 6634002-16 IAW SRM 51-40-03, 51-40-04, 51-40-05, 51-40-06, 55-20-01 & MM 20-32-00.  THIS IS CONSIDERED A MAJOR REPAIR.
