Default Dixon ZTR 428 Transaxle Repair Help Needed

I have the above mentioned and the left pivot bolt (PN 2166) broke in half
causing an almost complete loss of power on the left drive side. It looks
fairly simple to replace, and I have ordered a new bolt and locknut, but I
wanted to get an expert opinion on the repair if possible. My questions a

1) How do you know when the pivot bolt is inserted far enough into the
discup cradle pivot bushing?
2) Should I also replace the pivot bushing? If so, how to you get the old
bushing out of the cradle housing?
3) Are there any alignment procedures that should follow this type of
repair? If so, would anyone have a manual handy that could be emailed?

Please advise. Thanks!
