270 Outdrive
This question is a follow up to 270 will not engage. Thanks to all the advice I diagnosed a bad u-joint and (mostly, except for below) successfully replaced it. I'm stuck right now trying to get the female end of the u-joint over the PDS. It has proven more difficult to line up and advance in than imagined. Any pro-tips are greatly appreciated.
I've got the bellow attached to the hull side and pivot pins out (stern drive is not attached anywhere). I'm trying to get the female end over the PDS first and then start buckling it up. I cannot get the angle or teeth lined up properly. If there is a tried and to method please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Nathaniel
