4. Adjustmentof Main Landing Gear (continued)
(d) Use the fabricated toolin the following procedure (continued):
(4.) Swing plate up against the head of the bolt connecting the upper and lower links. The plate sleeve slides over the nut on the head of the bolt connecting the lower link to gear housing.
(5.) Look through sight hole in the plate and check that center of bolt is 0.219 to 0.281 inch below centerline onplace. (6.) Remove tool and reinstall cotter pins.
(e)Operatedownlock hook by hand to determine if it engagesfreely.Openand close joint severaltimes to assure the hook is working properly. If the hook does not clear the pin, continueas follows:
(1.) Ensure side brace stops are both touching.
CAUTION: DO NOT FILE PIN OR LET THE LINKAGES EXCEED 0.281 INCHES THROUGH CENTER.
(2.) If one link's stop is too high, file it down until both sides mate.
(f) When the hook is operating properly, proceedas follows:
(1.) Engagehookoverpin.
(2.) Force side brace linkage upward until the hook strikes the pin and stops movement.
(3.) Check gap between side brace stop surfaces and ensure it doesn't exceed 0.020 inches.

If clearance betweenstops exceeds 0.020 inch, the pin shows little or no wear, and the
link through travel is within limits, replace the hook.
cut pin, file off any burrs left by the cut, and drive the pin out from either side. Install a new pin and flange.
(g) If the pin requires replacement,
CAUTION: DO NOT TRY TO DRILL THE PIN OUT, WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE LINK.
(h)With down lock hook engaged, pull retraction armlocatedat the top of the forward side brace, towards the down lock hook to the limit of its travel. Pull down lock operatingrod or cable out to its full length and adjust the rod or cable end until the hook bolt can be freely inserted throughhooklugs.
