Barrt...I gotta take one off tomato, but for the ones I have put on it seems that if you lift the motor all the way, get the shift rod thru the proper hole and ease it up as evenly as you can it just fits together easily enough...if the prop is on and in gear you can nudge it a little to mate up the drive shaft splines(I use anti sieze grease on the splines)and have the bolts and wench handy(the wench is for the beer)...you won't have a problem...just a Thought
