Tohatsu M50D tilt trim tear down-seal

[ba_50]

Hi,<br /><br />What is the best way to get the top of the pump casing off? I got it hot enough to get fluid boiling around the shaft, tapped just below the lid with a hammer and tryed to get it lose with a home made scanner wrench. I used 1/4" bolts for the hole size. Is that the right size? The bolts just wore off and wouldn't fit any longer. I don't want to tear up the holes.<br /><br />Any suggestions? <br /><br />I was also told that a seal can be found to replace the one where the shaft goes in. Does anyone know who has them? <br /><br />Thank you very much. Bob

First off. We do not have anything called a pump casing. Are you trying to get the trim piston rod assy out of the housing? If so, you use a special wrench to go into the holes on top of the piston ram assy. I have no idea where you could screw bolts into it or why you would. Secondly. No one, to the best of anyone's knowledge at Nissan/Tohatsu, has ever found a replacement seal for the top of the piston ram. It only comes as an assy. Thats not to say that you couldn't go to a business that does seals and wade through thousands of them and find one that might fit. Good Luck. If you do find one somewhere, please post it here and I will see to it that it goes out as a service note to every Nissan/Tohatsu dealer in the U.S.

Elvin,<br /><br />The manual calls it a rod guide. I've had two mechanics say the seals are replaceable and to try a bearing company. I've only talked with them a couple of times so who knows for sure?<br /><br />I wasn't trying to screw the bolts in, I just wanted something like a spanner wrench with the right size pins.<br /><br />You aren't very encouraging but I like it when somebody tells it like it is.<br /><br />If I do find one I would be happy to let you know. <br /><br />Thank you.
