Great morning coverage again, guys! It's great to wake up (yes, I know it's late ;) ) and be able to catch up so fast.

No obvious indication of the SARJ problems' cause yet!

Nope. I don't think he's going to find any either. Whatever that is causing the issues, it's buried deep inside the SARJ's construction and isn't EVA accessible.

Why is Scott first removing the handrail? Isn't he supposed to install some on Harmony?

I think that is one of the handrails that he is supposed to be installing but is goiving him some troubles.

As they're ahead in the timeline, they'll try to get a MLI cover off to see what's under it.

I think he meant that the way the shavings are adhering looks like that...
