That is a very tricky procedure
below are the contact points of the CRJ i have
you can try to replace these for the ones you have but I must warn you the chances are not all that good that this will work as there are other things to consider
messing with any contact point can cause you to loose your hair wink

Changing the wrong point can create all kinds of bad events like having the aircraft buried in the pavement or point nose up or nose down or make it ride on one wheel.
Unless you know what you are doing my suggestion is to trash the aircraft and download a different one it will save you a ton of misery.

No. These were addon RJ's for FSX. Not even downloaded at the same time.
