     (b) Examine the uplock hooks and the guide plates for damage, cracks and corrosion.
     (c) Examine the protective finish for damage.
     (d) Make sure that the MLG uplocks, the door uplocks and their related mounting brackets are correctly installed and safetied.
     (e) Examine the hydraulic connections to the uplock actuator assemblies for damage and oil leaks.
     (f) Examine the strut assemblies for damage, cracks and corrosion.
     (g) Make sure that the strut assemblies are correctly installed and safetied.
     (h) Examine the proximity sensors to make sure they are correctly installed and safetied.
     (i) Examine the proximity sensor cables and the electrical connectors for damage and make sure they are correctly installed.
     (j) Examine the identification plates and labels on the MLG uplocks and the door uplocks to make sure they are correctly installed.
     (k) Make sure the bonding straps are correctly installed.
   (2) Do an inspection of the MLG leg and the door uplock pins as follows:
NOTE: To get access to the MLG leg uplock pins, it can be necessary to move the access platform.
