Volvo Trim Cylinders

[garagenc]

I started tearing the outdrive apart to get remove the trim/hyd cylinders for repair/replacement of the o rings and seals.

Right off the bat one of my removal bolts for the helmet plug broke off and I tried to use a extractor, didn't work had to drill the broken bolt out and then use 2 punches to remove the plug.

What should have been a 5 minute job ending up taking 3 hours.
Removed the top portion of the outdrive (no Problems) removed the shift cable and raised the outdrive up until it was straight out from the transom.

Tomorrow when I get in from work I'm planning to remove the hyd lines to the cylinders and then see if I can disassemble the cyl in place or if I have to remove them from the transom shield. The bolts that hold the cyl to the transom shield are in the lower portion of the transom and it looks like I'll have to remove the exhaust manifolds to get to the bolt pins that hold the hyd cyl to the transom.

I found a guy on e bay that I think has the repair kits with all the o rings and seals.

I'll try to take pics and post them on here as the job progress's unless no one is interested then I'll just "geter done" without a report and pics.
