I had to do this on one side only.  There should be no fore-and-aft play of 
the landing gear leg between the blocks.  It took about 4-5 BID.  Came out 
nicely.

However, your problem is that there's not enough room, not that there is free 
play.  If I understand the proposed problem and solution, I would say that 
removing a small amount of material from the back side of the big black block 
(the aluminum block that bolts to the aft spar and holds the spherical 
bearing) is the way to go.

My only concern is that aft forces should not compromise the spherical 
bearing and pop it out of the aluminum block.  However, since it is captured 
by the block and the spar, I don't see how this could happen, even if the 
shoulder holding the bearing was sanded away entirely (though a milling 
maching would be preferable if you have one).  Besides, the gear leg would 
bear against the block before the shperical bearing was pushed against the 
spar.
