I have a fair bit of play in the tiller handle so I would like to remove the bolt that connects it to the motor but while the nut spins freely the bolt head is close to striping so I'd rather ask than to move forward with this and end up having to cut it out.
To remove the bolt that holds the tiller handle on, it looks like it's not threaded where it meets the motor. What is the best way to get this bolt out ? Should I help it by getting a punch or something on it and knock it out or should it just back it's way out ? I've soaked it with penetrating oil now but it just barely moves when I put the socket on it.
Thanks for all your experience and advice !
Also the tilt pin (newer style) won't come out. I think it's seized. The plastic clip has broken off but I still can't get it out. I'm guessing that's a matter of putting something on one end and banging it out with a hammer. Any thoughts or suggestions on this too would be much appreciated......
