At this point I had already completely disassembled the main gear retract units and reassembled them with loctite. I was disappointed in the amount of play between the trunion and the trunion pivot pin. It is excessive and this causes a problem with ensuring the wheel can clear the door cylinders inside the fuse. In these photos you can see the the effect of the slop and how it drastically changes the clearance between the tire and the door cylinder. When the jet is on its gear the slop will be fore and aft not side to side but if the jet ends up wobbly on its gear, I will have to reach out to Anton about some replacement trunions / pivots.
