Measure the drive shaft hanging off the universal joint.

Drive shaft is not the same dimensions as the alignment tool.

Wow, that sounds like easy money for anyone with a lathe and some metal skills...

I already have one (have had for over 20 years). Just pointing out some of the differences in pricing. That said, I have actually found the Gimbal bearing is cheaper here than in the US. Not sure how or why, and yes, that's genuine. I think Merc have realised that people here are getting US prices and they were missing out on a lot of sales. Prices here for genuine parts have come down significantly over the last few years.
