Removed outdrive to replace boots and other items. No problem removing, but can't get universal gear to index w/ gear coming out of flywheel. What's the trick? Have everything lined up but can't get male splines to match up w/ female splines. Have rotated ujoints to align splines, but won't go in or"index" as manual states. Both parts are touching and look parallel, but can't get started to complete install.

Some times they can be a pain to get started. Just keep trying. Turn the shfft back and forth a little, and it has to be straight.
