The goal is to not have more than a .002 gap anywhere around the coupler not .002 around the entire coupler, although if this were the case then if you pulled them a little closer that .002 would drop to 0 which is what is perfect. You have to prybar and tap the trunnion to free the engine mount on its mount. Once you get it free it usu moves easier.
i used a crow back and a mini sledge and pryed and beat ever direction and it would not move. ill get the pros to do it this winter, im sure mine is not the worst since i am pretty positive 90% of the boating community does not even know this should be done.
