You got the triangle cover off?

And the insides of the tilt clutch housing out?

You took off the truarc snap ring around the brass plug off?

All thats left is the worm gear and plug?

Turn the worm gear should pop it out.

It don't go into the housing it comes out.

You got a manual?

I take the guts out of the housing first.

Than i push that freekin plug out from the inside. bye turning the spur gear which turns the worm gear that push's that plug out.

Your diagram don't even show the snap ring.

You took it off?

There was not a snap ring. Have a seloc manual, looking for a original OMC still. I got it out I actually put outdrive back on and let it up and down a couple of time and it popped out, changed o-ring and put back together,now for test drive later today, thanks again.

Figure 2- lower right hand corner.

Yours is what year?

Mine is 1986.

Maybe you didn't have one.

Glad you got it out.

I tuned mine with the motor also once to pop it out.
