Jim, doesn't your manual say to use a hammer to hit the pedestals until they
line up? :^)
Seriously though, I had no problem with your kit on lineup. No hitting
required at all. As Jim's manual noted, there is a fair bit of play in the
pedestals, so with the the bolts slightly loosened the rockers can be
repositioned enough to line up anything up to 1/8" on some.
