Hey guys.
I finally have the old 1978, 70hp evinrude off the boat while i work on the structure.
I was going to strip the tilt trim pump and clean everything up.
the prob is i can't get the tilt tube out..
I removed the nut of each end and removed the grease nipples just in case.
i gave the whole lot a good spray with a release agent then gave it a good whack with a leather ended mallet. Nothing moved.
i even tilted the base up to help with moving the weight, but achieved nothing.
surely i haven't missed something.. or have i???
