The tool should be 1.010 where it goes into the coupler.

IF the end of your alignment bar measures 1.152 as you posted in your original post, then it is Not going to fit in a hole that should have a 1.010 end.
That is over 1/8"

Re: alignement tool

don s the alignement tool was 1.010 on the end i tapped the tool with a rubber hammer and it went in , what could have caused it to swedge out like that , new boat to me just wanted to go ahead and change the u joint bellows and gimbal bearing

Maybe your engine is out of alignment, and not a problem with "Splayed" splines (whatever that is)

Re: alignement tool

don s i was measuring the wrong spot on the tool ,the tool still wouldnt slide in the coupler with gimbal bearing out ,that is when i tapped it in with the rubber hammer , now the tool slides in the coupler without the bearing in , now i need to put the bearing in and check the alignement.
