## Discrepancy

ELEVATOR TRIM WHEEL HAS ABNORMAL RESISTANCE.  DURING MANUAL MOVEMENT OF TRIM THERE IS GRINDING AND UNEVEN RESISTANCE.  AFTER THOROUGH INSPECTION, FOUND BOTH LT & RT ELEVATOR TRIM ACTUATORS GRINDING.  REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH LT & RT TRIM ACTUATORS IAW EMB 120 MM 27-32-02.  INSPECTED AGAIN AND RAN THROUGH MOVEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES.  ALL OPS CHECKS GOOD.
