You're on the right track. And people often skip this step - at their own expense.

I once had a guy 'help me' on this - he talked a good game - so I set him off in the corner to work while I did some floor mods... Well - I'm inside the hollow body - cutting etc - when I finish up and stop for a minute... I hear this moron banging on stuff and cussing - so I figure I better see what's up.

Well - he's jammed the offsets in the aluminum block - no anti seize etc - and they're in there HARD - and he's galled the aluminum now - and can't turn them with a screwdriver - so now he's got "water pump pliers" on 'em - and man - they're a mess... as in "extract and toss".

He hasn't been asked to help any more.

My rule is - if it doesn't fit or isn't working like it should - then stop and figure out why... Hammers are for carpenters. :>)
