Ed,
The Factory already has the timing marks on the planetary gears which
correspond to marks on the sun gear. Align them and the sun gear will
"easily" mesh. It sounds astrophysical but it's not really rocket science.

Richard,
I agree, it makes not sense but John Esposito of Quantumechanics says:
I have seen this planetary problem a few times over the years. The only way
to
make it useable is to keep trying different positions with the planetaries,
sunwheel and annulus until you get a smooth engagement. I then mark the
planetaries with a punch so you can use it when you need it. This can take a
lot of patience!!!
So, since the "proof is in the pudding", I'll assemble the sun and planetary
gears, along with the annulus and see if the mainshaft will pass through the
sunwheel and engage the spline in the annulus without regard to the position
of the planetary gears. I'll let you know what I find.
Best,
Ed
