Has anybody cut one of these out with a sawzall? just the lower swivel pin...not the gimble housing
I need to change my lower bearings in my gimble housing and cannot get that damn cotter pin out to press the steel pin out to remove the housing.
It would have been nice if they positioned that cotter pin in a way that you could drive it out with a punch if you couldn?t pull it out by hand.
anyhow...anybody ever attempt it?
It's bad enough that I am going to have to drill into the top of the transom housing to get to that nut off but this BS with the frozen cotter pin is really annoying me.
Any tips?
