It took about two hours to get it back to correct and then re-install. I am glad it was found before a test ride. Almost hidden without putting it in a jig but it was off by about an eighth of an inch and took a bunch of leverage to move the blade back in place. Now I can get back to the Ciocc build. Smiles, MH
