Intermediate Shaft

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Well, first off the hole in the bearing insert needs to line up with the 
hole in the block. After that I believe your assumption that the groove 
should point at the gear makes a lot of sense. I have a block with inserts I 
can look at if required.
Do not sand the bearing inserts so they fit in the hole. They are sized that 
way so they need to be pressed into the hole and will stay in place due to 
the press fit. If you don't have a press take it to a machine shop. It's 
cheap and they won't damage the inserts.

PS your fingers are way too clean for you to actually be working on an 
engine ;^)
