what i did also
is put the motor all the way down
put a block of wood under the skeg crank up the trailer slowly so that when you are raising the trailer you pushing on the skeg to lift the engine enough to get alittle space in between the pivot point and soak pb blaster
you will need 2 people doing this 1 cranking and 1 looking sometimes you migh have to shake the motor to break away from the old great the motor should have about 1/8 inch play just enough to get the pb blaster in to do its job
but you will still have to put in a grease fitting to get grease to the top of the shft it will work my engine was like that and thats how i fixed it
i put in a knew steering tube this year wow its like knew but i did havr to fix the first problem first the turning shaft
