One more time, does doing this procedure messes the alignment up?
the service manual ( just got it btw
) says to "check alignment" when done... ?

I'm sorry, but I cannot say for sure that this procedure has no impact on alignment. I can say that I haven't noticed any alignment issues since the procedure. Also, while reading over this entire thread, I do not recall seeing anyone mention that an alignment was required afterwards.
