HELP Bolt alignment after tail in the air.

[ltljohn]

I had the tail in the air I am putting it back down but I can not get the bolt holes to line up. The lower ones on the transmission and the ones on the rear frame line up but the ones that go up to the big casting are too far forward. Is there a trick to this?

Do not tighten until they are all in.

Probably due to frame/engine sag - try jacking things up a bit to take the weight off until all the bolts are in.
