## Discrepancy

PER CREW VERBAL, GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT IN POS DET SYS NR 1, (SYS 2 IS ON MEL). SWITCHED TO POS DET SYS NR 2 AND IT WORKED.

REMOVED AND REPLACED 9GB AND 11GB BOGIE BEAM SENSORS AND PERFORMED DIMENSION CHECKS ON LT MAIN GEAR REF 32-00-00-04. SEALED LOWER BOLTS ON BOTH GEARS AND PERFORMED NORMAL EXTENSION AND RETRACTION TEST REF 32-00-00-04 STEP 5 B. COMPLIED WITH CONTINUITY TEST OF PROX DETECTORS REF AMM 32-00-00, P BLOCK 501. ALL SYS TEST NORMAL.
