Re: changing steering cable
If you can get it unhooked from the steering column, can't you push some toward the back to give it more room? ???
I don't know, you might be screwed on that. ??? :-[

Re: changing steering cable
I had the same problem I had the motor bolted down thank god it was Sunday night and I had not returned the engine hoist. I had to unbolt it picked it up 2 inches and turn it about 30 degrees and the cable went in. It was easy because of he jack plate, no silcone or sealant involed......
