I have a 02 225 Honda and need to remove the tilt and trim but it doesn't want to come out after removing the long bolt on the bottom. The parts diagram shows 2 bushings but doesn't look like they would interfere. The manual says I have to remove one of the stern brackets which will be a major task. I can't believe this trim unit wont just drop out with the top and bottom pins removed. Do I have to disassemble the brackets? It looks like there is a sleeve, collar, or bushing on the bottom that is keeping it from coming out. If I cut thru the collar/bushing it will come out. Then just replace with new parts. What do you think?
