What was found

(CAN) DURING A NORMAL BUSHING CHANGE ON THE MAIN LANDING GEAR TORQUE LINK, THE LANDING GEAR SAFETY SWITCH WAS REMOVED. ON REINSTALLATION AND RIGGING, THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT COMPLETELY COMPRESSED AND LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT. THEREFORE, RIGGING OF THE SWITCH WAS NOT CORRECT. ON RIGGING MAIN LANDING GEAR SAFETY SWITCH, FULL COMPRESSION OF OLEO MAY ALTER INITIAL ADJUSTMENT.
