In my experience the cutlass bearing is hard mounted to the hull so the shaft must pass thru in only one position. The shaft is supported by the engine and the cutlass only. The cutlass cant move to position the shaft so the engine must be moved. I see no other way.

Many times the cutlass bearing is worn because the shaft was not aligned- engine was not aligned. Sometimes you can see the cutlass worn on one side from misalignment.
