Red,
I found on mine that you have to pound the alignment tool into the splines to remove the "points" off the splines. Call Craig Kennedy at Pier 75 and he can explain it better than I can. What year were your boxes? If they are mid to late 90's, you may find that you will also have to follow the re-shim process that was described in this thread. The one where you have to make new custom shims.

I just had my Stellings boxes off for re-finishing. I marked the spacers and carrier struts on removal.
The Merc alignment tool does not fit into the spline reciever.
There is a little play in the mounting holes, so the gimbal housing can be moved up/down slightly on the Stellings box to align the gimbal bearing with the spline reciever.
Haven't put the drives back on yet, but was going to check with Stellings on alignment procedure.

My comment above about the Merc tool not fitting the flange is INCORRECT. On closer inspection, I did find some slight flaring of the teeth on the flange. 5 minutes with a file and the Merc tool fit right in.
rws ... thanks for the use of your alignment tool. I'll have it back to you soon now!
