If you use the Lancair jack adapter a small floor jack c= an barely work.  This is okay for tire and brake work, but doesn't all= ow you to suspend the gear leg, which you need to do to check the clearance= of the leg in the socket.  To do that you can take off the gear inspe= ction plate and jack against the attach bolt.  I modified the fairing = so I can jack on the main spar itself.  I'm sure you can also put a bo= ard under the main spar area and jack against the wing, but I've never done= that on a Lancair.  I'd suggest jacking out toward the wingtip to red= uce the loading - but again, I've not done it that way.  It works on a= Cessna, FWIW.
