    Hmm, I know Cole was having problems getting the studs to line up to the holes so that the motor would sit down on the mount.

    I don't think Cole found it useful, but I had suggested gently lowering the motor down on top of the studs and then rock the piss out of the motor and that's how I got mine to line up.

    So just something else to think about if all else fails.

    I didn't have much trouble lining it up, but where I did, I found that letting it rest slightly out of place and giving it a few whacks with a rubber mallet worked just fine.
