1990 140hp E140TLESE
I'm trying to get this exhaust housing apart, but removing the two bolts that go horizontally into the steering arm one of the heads snapped right off like it knew I was coming.
Everything but this one headless bolt is out and I can wiggle the exhaust housing around on the midsection.
The angle doesn't look too bad in the picture but but it is bad. No way I'm getting a drill in there.
I could cut down between the steering arm and the block it bolts to on the exhaust housing adapter, but that looks expensive, though maybe it would be ok because it would only be the thickness of a Dremel multimax blade. The steering arms and exhaust housing adapters on ebay are all listed for the same cost as whole midsection assemblies that often include the steering arm.. I can pry the bottom of the exhaust housing out a bit but can't get half enough room to get a socket under the bottom of it to remove the lock nut holding the whole assembly together from the bottom.
Am I boned?
