Craig, I say none. The main gear knee pin is enclosed in a phenolic bearing that only costs about six bucks but pulling the pin has to be done very carefully because it is a light tube and uses very small threads (32 tpi) which can be ruined very easily. The pin costs about $160 so be careful.
Also when ordering the bearing from Univair, make sure they mike it first - last time I ordered one it was oversize and they checked their parts bin and out of about a dozen only found one with the correct dimensions. I say none, because if any play exists, the wear factor increases tremendously and within a short time the bearing (which is only about a sixteenth of an inch thick - don't have actual diminsions here in the house to confirm this) will be gone and the pin will then bear directly on the link arm aluminum and ruin the whole landing gear system. Side play on this assembly can be tremendous when landing on pavement in a crosswind or just making turns going to or from the end of the runway.
