I've read several posts, and this is what I'm going to attempt. Ok I will remove LU, turn shaft counter clockwise, then wrap with cloth, turn another 1/8 or a turn to click to neutral. Then put shifter in neutral, reassemble. Is there any other hints or tips from someone who has done this on a Mariner 135. Thank you

You will need to turn the flywheel to mesh the splines. Grease the splines with a good marine grease. The gearcase fit is tight. Don't force it with wrenches. Turn mounting nuts with finger pressure, wiggling the thing into place.
