Am having a hard time lining up the holes to put the new arm in. I'm about a half inch off any suggestions or tricks? Thanks

I used few ratchet straps that were hooked to the axle and to a pole. Then just ratchetted them into place.

I used a jack on the frame and on the axle and moved them both around until they were close.
