A bearing alignment and insertion tool wherein a gimble bearing must be rotatably aligned with a grease fitting during insertion. The tool utilizes an alignment shaft with a cylindrical mounting sleeve slidably positioned thereon. A mounting plate secures the tool to the engine's bell housing allowing incremental advancement of the shaft there against. The shaft is keyed to the cylindrical sleeve advancing same against the bearing for proper insertion and seating.
