Re: Trim tilt upper and lower shaft bolts stuck hard
I couldn't be stuffed with the frustration off banging endlessly, so, I took it to the engine shop and asked if they could press the two shafts out. They used a combination of mild heat, penitrine (?) penitrene (?,) I guess its a fancy word for loose juice
, and all is well. It was the outer edge of the lower shaft that was sticking. There appeared to be a little corossion in the aluminium.
Now for the clean up.
You cannot paint the upper and lower shaft and then re-install them. The hole is that tight.
