## Discrepancy

ABI - SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING TO THE GATE.  FOUND THE NR 2 WHEEL BEARING HAD FROZE AND THE TIRE HAD BEEN DRAGGING, CAUSING THE SMOKE.  NR 2 BRAKE WAS ALSO DAMAGED.  REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH BRAKES AND BOTH WHEEL ASSEMBLIES ON THE LEFT GEAR.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
