## Discrepancy

BRAKE CYLINDER HOUSING WORN AT THE ANCHOR BOLT PASS THROUGH HOLE ALLOWING THE ANCHOR BOLT TO BE PRESSED OUT BY HAND. THIS IS NORMALLY A CLOSE TOLERANCE FIT. THIS CONDITION IN THE PAST HAS CAUSED THE ANCHOR BOLT TO SHEER OFF CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE CALIPER ASSEMBY, TORQUE PLATE AND/OR TIRE ON THREE OF OUR AC.  (K)
