Johnson 75 70 hp bearing carrier bolts to retainer plate

[jrboat2011]

replaced prop shaft seals and bearings , can't get bearing carrier bolts to set in retainer plate, feels like they are to short, but I am using the bolts that held the carrier to retainer plate before I replaced the seals and bearings.

You'll need to make up a rod with the same thread size as carrier bolts. Then screw that into the retainer plate. Then install the carrier. Pull back on the rod and this will align the retainer so you can get the other bolts started.
