If you have removable fairings for the= main gear attach points, you can use a standard floor jack or AC jack at th= e gear attach point.  Just use a piece of wood or something solid for s= upport.

<= div>All,

Got a pretty shimmy tonight, enough to loosen= the front wheel fairings screws.  Also while pushing her back into the= hangar I could hear a rubbing sound on the left main wheel, but only pullin= g forward; not backing.  So now its time to jack up the main gear and s= ee whats going on.

I tried to search the archives t= o see how best to support the wings.  No luck.

I am going to purchase a floor jack and lift the main gear one at a time us= ing the Lancair adapter.  Then put a saw horse with carpet and foam to h= old the wing while I check the main gear for play in the legs.  I suspe= ct I may need shims or be having wheel bearing problems.  
I remember reading but I don=E2=80=99t recall where to put the s= upport under the wing.  Unfortunately, I don=E2=80=99t have jackpoints.=

Any advice?  Thank you

George
