Finally found and fixed my problem.
Just as Drew had experienced we replaced the two "O" rings on the piston (right front actuator) as per MAM numbers (116) but still had probs. Main gear kept dropping out of the wells, pressure was intermittent.
Trouble shooting the system led us back to the same cyl.
Took the whole thing into CBS Bearing Supply and the and ended up requiring a size larger "O" rings to properly seal. Reassembled, bled and everything seems to be OK.
The new "O" rings on the piston are #216
End caps are #027
Shaft seal #112
