Paint marks on the concentric bolts, and try to reinstall to the same marks. But that only gets you close. Still need an alignment, IMHO.

Hello, no need for alignment for the boot job. They are on a tapered shaft

Yeah, you are correct. I missed the pic that showed the OP did this work without removing the coffin arm from the car.
