Thank you very much for those threads. I will check my blocks tomorrow or Wednesday - and if even remotely necessary call LASAR for a new part. Do they still the jacking pads, too? One of the last remaining questions: are you saying that whether the block is worn or not, the bar should stay correctly latched if properly locked; but will be less forgiving to improper locking of the bar?

Thanks for the info guys. Carusoam - are you saying that whether the block is worn or not, the bar should stay correctly latched if properly locked; but will be less forgiving to improper locking of the bar? Also, I search for threads of "receiver block" "worn block" and a few others...I didn't get any results, what should I be searching for?

A couple of questions: (1) Has anyone experienced a Johnson bar coming out of the locked position on landing? (2) Can side-loading the main gear (such as landing slightly crabbed into a crosswind) cause the gear to force the Johnson bar out of the "up and locked" position?
