I am trying to remove the trim/tilt assembly for a 1991 Johnson 40 VJ40TLEIA. After plenty of effort, and a heavy hammer, I got the top pin out but I have 2 things left.
1. I need to disconnect the wires from the trim so that I can take the whole unit off. The wires run through a sleeve that enters into the cowling through the bottom. I think I have "unclipped" the wiring harness from under the cowling however I could figure out how to remove the wires from the "clip" so that I could make the bundle of wire fit through the hole in the cowling. Any advise would be great; the service manual isn't detailed enough to help me.
2. The bottom pin (pin is threaded on both ends) is stuck! I just started soaking it in a penetrating oil and plan to beat it out the best I can. I would greatly appreciate other ideas if someone has had luck with this.
Thanks in advance!
