Challenger MT265B POWER SHUTTLE BOT MOVING

Another trick that can help. You still have the starter installed (as shown in photos) so you can temporarily hook up battery cables, then using a jumper wire or remote start button bump the starter briefly multiple times while pushing things together. That seems to work well for me. The jolt can help in getting splines to self align and things slip together easier then just turning the motor by hand.

I had put the starter back in to do a compression test. But I did consider bumping it over with the starter to get it back, I don't have a great battery so I would have to rob peter to pay Paul. Or rather return peters battery that I stole for Paul. If I get a good battery back for it and find my remote start trigger that would be a great solution

You don't really need a good battery. You just want to jolt the engine slightly. No need for it actually turn over. A two second bump repeated until splines mate up is all that's required.
