## Discrepancy

LG WOW SYS FAIL EICAS ALERT POPULATED THE EICAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER GEAR RETRACTION. THE NOSE GEAR RETRACTED AFTER THE MAINS HAD FINISHED RETRACTING. WHILE THE NOSE GEAR WAS RETRACTING, WE HEARD METAL GRINDING AND A VERY LOUD BANG WHEN THE NOSE GEAR FINALLY RETRACTED. DECLARED AND EMERGENCY AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO ORD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT OVERWEIGHT ON LANDING.  REF NRWC # 763-ORD-02048 FOR WORK ACCOMPLISHED, T/S PER FIM 32-61-00-810-840-A AND 32-61-00-810-890-A.
