*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 28, 2011 Do it by eye..its not that hard. Line it up centering the splines relative to the spigot bearing with a screw driver. Just put the pressure plate in place and do the bolts up finger tight so you can align it before tightening up the bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
