## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF WE RECEIVED LEVEL 2 BRAKE OVERHEAT  ALERT. COMPLIED WITH QRH AND EXTENDED GEAR TO ALLOW  COOLING, THEN CONTINUED FLIGHT NORMALLY. #6 BRAKE  TEMPERATURE CONTINUED TO CLIMB TO A MAX OF 605  INDICATED WITH GEAR EXTENDED AT 13,000FT AND 210KTS  INDICATED, ALL OTHER BRAKE TEMPS NORMAL. REPEAT  ISSUE WITH #6 BRAKE, SEE PREVIOUS WRITE-UP  REGARDING RTO AT KIND.  AMM: 32-43-20-4 WHILE M.E.L.ING BRAKE - JACKED #6 TIRE ASSY TO ENSURE THERE WAS SMOOTH ROTATION - FOUND #6 BRAKE STICKING AND HARD TO ROTATE. REMOVED AND REPLACED #6 BRAKE AS PER MD11 M/M 32 -43-20-4 .. REMOVED M.E.L. ACTION BACK TO OPERATIVE STATE AND OPS CHECKED GOOD.
