Re: Uh-oh
As long as it sits flat against the bellhousing, then yes, install and tighten the three small bolts first.
The lower bolt is not even really necessary, some motors don’t have anything there. That should be a steel bracket on the lower front, right? Is there a bolt or a rivet holding that bracket to the motor case? If it’s a bolt, loosen the bolt and see if that bracket will slide toward the bellhousing. |

Re: Uh-oh
The exact same thing happened to me when I was installing a D&D motor a few years ago.
Mine was a lot worse – it broke off in there and I had to weld something to it to back it out. Those motor bolts are way too soft. |

You can also get a stronger grade bolt at Lowe’s or Home Depot. (Standard 1/4 x 20) Ordering online should work fine as well though. |

Re: Uh-oh
The reference to the 1/16" gap is in all Precedent manuals for the GE or ADC Sepex motors.
I am not sure about Series motors since those old manuals are not very detailed, perhaps someone with direct knowledge of those Series models or D&D can verify. Edit: By gap I meant the motor is not seated flush on the outside because there is a "lip" on the inside diameter of the Motor where it touches the transaxle, don't try to over torque to get the motor flush on the outside as it is already bottomed out.
