I have a 2005 Larson Cabrio with a 5.7 GXI-F and DP-SM outdrive. Despite the DP-SM designation in the plate, the Gimbal Ring/Steering Arm setup is IDENTICAL to a SX-MHP. Does anybody know the bolt/thread size for making a removal tool to take the arm off? It does appear that the bore/threads start off larger, then after 3/4" of depth, they narrow to 3/8", which is the size of the bolt shown. I have attached some photos to illustrate what I'm seeing. I tried to hook a rig up to the bottom side of the Gimbal Ring bar to try to pull it off with a slide hammer, but the angle is wrong. Also, SELOC mentions a "holder tool" on page 10-67, Fig. 249. Is this meant for this unit? Any help on this is appreciated!
