There are two bolts at the top of the transom i believe above the gimbal bearing housing that in previous readings are supposed to be checked periodically and torqued to 50lbs. Now the dumb question is do those bolts need to be loosened to get my gimbal bearing out?

sorry, my heading says gimbal ring, but it should be gimbal bearing.

Re: dumb question about gimbal ring removal

gimbal bearing removal. I used a slide hammer to no avail, well, not true, the bearing has moved slightly outside the aluminum ring it's in, but obviously i want to remove the whole enchilada intact if i can and not have to deal with a two piece removal.
