Message	The alignment tool is not a precise device. You need to manually center the disc using the tool by eye. After you have made a few attempts you may have smashed up the front edges of the pilot bushing by now (if you are using brass) so take a look at it. It will take quite a beating before it will not allow you to get the input shaft in a properly centered disc though.
