I'm trying to remove the steering fork from a DP-D1 shield. There is a lot of play and I'm pretty sure it is leaking on rough days.
I was able to remove the trim sender bolt. The sender, which hasn't worked in ages, is loose but hits the transom, so I can't remove it. I assume that is no big deal.
The set screw in the spindle arm has been removed. So according to the repair manual, a pry bar on the outside, the assy should just slide down.
Now that that didn't happen, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this apart?
It isn't completely frozen as I can push some grease from the fitting to outside the transom. Soaked it in PB Blaster.
Thanks in advance
Steve
