I just want to post an idea I read online. It might help others when attempting this difficult job. The big problem is getting that E clip on the fitting from the inside of the transom. Unless you have really long arms with several elbows and can work blindly here's an idea that I haven't tried yet, but seems it might help. Solder that e clip to a long screwdriver at the proper angle. Then when you have it seated, just twist the screwdriver to break off the solder. I will be trying this as soon as mother nature finally gives up her winter madness.
I would like to give credit and thank the poster jansteam40 for this idea. Since it was from another site, I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this link:
