Default Is there a tool for.....?

I'm picking my frame/swingarm up from painter on Monday.
Get to start reassembling the scoot.

Question is...is there a special tool needed to realign the engine/tranny/swingarm in the frame before bolting it down?
If there is, who sells it? Jim's?

Thats a good question.

Clymer repair book lists a tool, HD-35381.

And if you have deeper pockets:

I dont think theres much you can do about the rear wheel, but the engine/tranny is supposed to be aligned.

Actually look in your service manual under frame alignment.
