FYI, according to the Macy's garage tech page on this topic, one uses an exactly 1" o.d. washer slid in through the gap from the inside to sit on that bushing. You can then press it out and the washer can follow it through the hole. If you don't have any play, however, there isn't much of a reason to replace it.
I don't remember as this was some time ago, but since the bolts are not going into Al or some soft alloy, I probably used the standard torque for the bolt size/thread.
Outstanding... this will be super helpful when I get to this stage.
other than that good job

So just to make sure.. You removed the stator shaft through the front of the car , not through the steering hub..?
Ugh, sorry, I don't remember anymore.
when you were measuring the shaft stick out, you were in inches not millimeters. your measurment was 3 hundreths, not mill's
and im guessing you measured the shims the same way because 30 millimeters is about an inch and an 1/8
What torque settings did you use on the bottom plate bolts
