Mercruiser 3.0 liter Alpha 1 drive:
Now that I have the whole transom assembly off and on a bench I have gotten the old bellows off, will do the gimbal bearing but would like to replace the gimbal pins while I am at it.
Is there a trick to getting the cotter pin out and removing the bottom pin or do I simply start bashing with whatever is handy?
The bottom pin appears to be steel (very rusted) and the gimbal ring of course is aluminum.
