Bravo 3 steering pin question

[saaristo]

I'm about to change the steering pin on my Bravo 3 outdrive and before I rip it apart I would like to understand some details.
On this picture, as far as I understand the steering pin is swiveling on the surface pointed with arrow no. 1 inside the shield, correct? What about surface pointed with arrow no. 2 - is that end of the pin inserted into a cavity inside the transom shield and also acting as a swiveling surface for the steering pin?

Yes, both of those surfaces ride on a lubricated bushing. #4 and #6 in the diagram.

Pretty much everything gimbal ring can be found within the following link by JR marine. See the second video for proper installation instructions.

be a good idea to drill in a grease fitting too
