1996 dt85 suzuki trim motor has broken. In order to replace the trim motor I need to raise it. I have found the release valve and opened it but the motor will not budge. I have not used excessive force. Thinking slow, steady strong force is the answer but nervouse about breaking something. Any suggestions?

The motor exerts huge amounts of force on the T&T system when the boat's running, so don't be afraid to use force.
