I own a mobile repair business and have installed thousands of these over the last 12 years. Was thinking about getting my own youtube channel going! Anyway, I can tell you that your difficulty installing the drive was not only the o-rings but mostly due to engine alignment. In the video it appears you did not have the alignment tool in far enough. Alignment tool needs to be inserted all the way until you can hear it clunk making contact on the inside, then it should spin freely but not wiggle all around. I did not hear your shaft bottom out and it appeared to wiggle as you rotated it. Sometimes the engine is aligned where it needs to be but the gimbal bearing is off a little bit, keep that in mind as well. Try inserting the alignment tool only into gimbal bearing and shift it around until its aligned with coupler, then insert tool all the way into coupler and check engine alignment. If done properly you should be able to quickly pull the alignment shaft straight out and you'll see the shape of the splines left in the grease on the shaft. Then, use that grease pattern to gauge whether your engine needs to go up or down. Fine tune the alignment of the engine until the splines form an even grease pattern all the way around the shaft and the shaft goes all the way in and out with minimal effort. As far as the o-rings go, yeah they're a tight fit but not to the point where you need to curb stomp it and beat it with wood and sledge hammers. If everything is aligned perfectly a firm nudge with your shoulder should pop it right into place. Best of luck to you and Lets Go Brandon!

just did bellows & gimble bearings on my bravo one, i see you had the same issue with o rings on the shaft getting stuck holding it just on the end of the bolts, was told about the "mercruiser kick" to get it in, fun times.

Rotate the props will make it go in. The binding is due to the splines.

We did that. Splines we’re engaged a couple inches. Binding was due to how tight the o ring interference was.

High idle and the smell is a regen, it's cleaning the filters. I smell it all the time on my 18 wheeler. If you'd looked at the temp gauge it would've been very top end..
