The plane is down for a separate issue, so I figured I'd replace the MLG donuts yesterday. We're using the "aircraft weight" method. The right main appears to align well with the new donuts installed (still need to compress), but the left main is giving us fits... When removing the retaining screw, we noticed the shaft did not drop as we removed weight like the right side did. A few firm impacts to the wheel freed it up so we could remove the old donuts. Trying to put everything back in place, we found that the shaft the donuts are on does not rotate forward enough to align with the hole at the top (hits about 1/4" aft of where it should). Any ideas on how to address that and/or what the problem is? I forgot to take photos last night; It was late and I was pretty much "done" when I left. Hopefully the description is enough...
