I trim the undersides of the shoulders with a counterbore, by hand. 
It's done by feel and goes quite quickly. I'd like to toss in this 
reminder, though. If at proper torque, you're 15º short on alignment 
and you overshoot during the trimming, you'll only have to trim ~10 
mils more before the next alignment, which come in 180º intervals.

Of course, now we'll all being using Ron's "previewer". A real nifty idea, Ron!
