So dad and I replaced thrust bearing, bought new bushing. Got box all put back together, pressed new bushing onto main shaft of gear box as pictured. My question now, is there any handy tricks to line this dude up and sucked up to the crank? Extremely tight fit, we fought it for over an hour and only way were seeing is to remove 2 or 4 of the studs and put in longer ones so it lines up and pulls tight to the crank? Right now with these factory studs gear box is not going on far enough to get a nut started. Figured someone on here surely has gone through this before ? Thanks.
