## Discrepancy

LT WING LEADING EDGE ASSY SAGGING AND FLEXING BETWEEN W/S 49.131 AND 91.131.  WE WERE UNABLE TO DISASSEMBLE LEADING EDGE ASSEMBLY FROM THE FORWARD SPAR CAP DUE TO BROKEN (105774C-ZG18700) HINGE PIN.  NOT ABLE TO DISASSEMBLE THE LEADING, COULD ONLY GUESS THAT THE HINGE AND PIN BOTHER WERE WORN.  THIS WAS DISCOVERED DURING A 100 HOUR INSPECTION.
