Shimming main gear

[Brian2034]

Ok

Just finished bead blasting and painting my  gear.
Started the reassembly, noticed I have forward/ aft movement in the main gear ( co- pilot side)

The upper frame mounted between the forward and aft spar? has movement it slides forward/ aft in the bearing mounts.

I know there are shims available but I can’t find any information on acceptable clearance.

Take the metal plates at the back and flip them over. The steel tubes wear into them, if you flip them over, it’s like having brand new ones.

SMM calls for 0.020”. Use appropriate shims in the rear block until correct movement is obtained.
