2000 5.0gl sx-m outdrive.
I have the outdrive off, bottom bracket with pin removed, bellows off, 4 nuts and bolt thru steering arm removed and soaked with pb blaster for over a week. Trying to remove trim lines becuase I broke them. Have not been able even with crows foot to remove lines at the top. Just keeps turning on nut and rounding off. Need to remove collar so I can cut lines and get a super socket on. Already brock block where lines attatch, was using a chisel trying to get them loose. Block brock small section of ear off where nut holds it on the stud, hoping to get it back in place and nut back on, I think it will hold.
Thanks for any help!

Sounds like a salt water boat. Usually end up removing the engine, and taking the complete trim hose connector out of the transom shield. New hoses, and connector and put it all back together.
