## Discrepancy

THE LT AND RT FORWARD TRUNNION FITTING ASSEMBLIES WERE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE BEARINGS.  WHILE THE FITTINGS WERE REMOVED THE TECH NOTICED THAT BOTH LT AND RT RIBS WERE CRACKED AT THE FORWARD OUTBOARD FLANGES OF THE RIBS.  THIS FLANGE IS UNDER THE TRUNNION FITTING ASSEMBLY AND CANNOT BE SEEN WITHOUT REMOVAL.
