Mercruiser Alpha One, took the lower unit apart to change the impeller. Came off like a dream but getting it back on is a nightmare. I put the shifter in forward before I dropped it. I can spin the prop shaft but the vertical shaft will not move at all. Guy at the marine shop told me to spin the prop shaft when trying to get the verical shaft aligned, what am I doing wrong?
 
ok i got the shafts turning but still can't get it to seat. can get it all the way up to within inch of being mated but cant get it past that, any suggestions
