It kind of blows my mind that these issues have been unresolved for so long. Like, the Hercules and the F22 are not new planes. Even if you absolutely cannot keep a serviceable aircraft out of service for "no reason", there must be at least one where the issue was reported, but the landing gear got fucked or something and it's sitting around being used for parts. Tear that one apart and see if you can find the problem.
