Look in FSDS2 Help/Contents/Overview/Basics.

"In Move mode, you can relocate the part axis by holding the Shift-key and dragging the part axis and dropping it at the desired position."

You can use the Constrain buttons to restrict movement to the desired direction.

Or .. for a precise translation of axis..

Transform->Translate
(enter the precise x,y,z distances you want the axis to move) click on "axis only" and hit enter...

Another useful tool is the "Center Axis To Part" menu command.
