ps: grease the shaft and the u-joints and the gimble bearing before u put it
back in, gimble bearing isn't necessary just easier to see how much grease
to put back in and not making a mess in there.

om...
I pulled the outdrive off my OMC Cobra to repaint it but damn if I can
get it back on. I can't get the driveshaft to reseat in the gimbal.
After much effort I got it to within an inch. Any tips from those that
have been here before?
