SB 1375A - Periodic Replacement of Main Landing Gear Attachment Hardware

It seems to me that ADs mad SBs pertinent to aircraft I get involved with appear this time of the year.
Merry Christmas? ( comment later)
 
I’ve found about a dozen broken bolts; never screws.

My thought is the bolts are in tension and the screws are not.

Lots of loose screws that I believe are stretched. ( damage?)

So if a bolt is missing or loose; is an eddy current inspection of the spar required per SB?

Loose bolts will wallow out the hole beyond the slim tolerance also.
 
Retractable gear for the win!!

:eek: :p

My gear has cost me a lot of money and downtime this year. Sigh. At least this one does not affect me.
