Re: 84 Merc 260 shift cable. whats that part and how do I replace
I guess I did not read it well enough either... I thought you had the entire outdrive off. You can pull it off without a cherry picker - the upper is not very heavy. I would suggest pulling it so you can check the condition of the bearing, check the alignment, etc. It is also easier to put back together on the bench - then put the entire outdrive back on.
So you have not removed the upper? I thought you did.
