Excessive play in electric retract


Recommended Posts

I have an Avios Spitfire which has had quite a few flights and now has a lot of play in both retracts when the wheels are down.  When retracted they are nice and tight.  I've removed the cover on one of them and there doesn't seem any way to remove the slop.  Anyone any knowledge on whether there's any way to tighten them up?  It's the internal mechanism I should add, not looseness of the leg in the retract.

Have a close look as some of them have an adjustable stop that can be adjusted with a 1.5 km Allen key. I doubt they are worn as the 

gears are very small and well meshed if they wear they would be inclined to slip.

That's a VERY big Allen key?
