Merc 5.7 MC 1 outdrive
I have read the adults only section on engine alignment. I am trying to understand what is happening when you put the alingment bar just into the coupler and bump the bar end to "set the gimbal bearing to align with the coupler". I know when installing the gimbal bearing, you have to "set it" so it is flat on the face of the bearing stop. How are you moving this bearing with the alignment bar?
thanks
Ed
