This is a good video, but this method doesn't work very well for the VBC L12 due to the way the pivot mounts, which is opposite of most AE cars where the pivot ball is on the pod (and not the main chassis.)

Max's recommendation to hold the chassis plate and lower pod plate level while you re-tighten the pivot seems to be the method that works the most consistently. Just be sure to wiggle it side-to-side a bit after you have loosened the two side screws and before you tighten it back down to make sure everything moves around a bit to get re-centered.
