The steering on a 1985 mercury 35 hp I bought is locked up.
I've attempted with hammer and air punch to knock the steering shaft back through the tilt tube.
My parts CD doesn't have the pics and the shop manual disc doesn't tell how to remove the tilt tube.
I could probably figure it out but I'd like to remove as few pieces as possible. What is the procedure for tilt tube removal?
Thanks
