When a locomotive has had the drivers off, how are they realigned so the connecting rods fit? I've just watched a video, 60532 Blue Peter Part 1, that shows putting the rods on, but not the critical prep prior. This video seems to be finishing the rebuild after the wild wheel slip incident. Part 2 shows connecting rod, some of the valve gear, and some fine tuning with a big hammer.

Thanks
Mike
