So I bought a mercury force 9.9hp....but it's super stiff trying to tilt it up and put it all the way back down. Is there a way to grease this hinge? My brother tried pounding out the bolt, but that didn't work (told him it wouldn't, but he insisted). We tried WD-40, but that seemed to have no effect...In my attached picture, the bolt runs through the part that has the sticker on it...
