Steering- Swivel Bracket

[SkunkBoat]

so, at least the 3/8 screw extractor did not snap off...
However, the bolt is not budging and the screw extractor is just "drilling" it out when I use a big breaker bar on the wrench.

I suppose drilling & tapping is the next step but...

can't drill a straight hole without laying it flat and using a drill press
Can't lay the piece flat without removing 8 more bolts that have never been loosened in 12 yrs, which would probably end in another snapped bolt.
guess I'll have to try them...


Ok, so the housing came of easy. I think I need to take this to someone with the tools and knowhow to remove and rethread...

Heat and if you need a little more heat use two torches. Best way to go is a real machine shop.

Everything back together. I can turn the wheel with a pinky finger. Nice blue grease pumps out.

Changed oil& filter, gear oil, low pressure fuel filter, water impeller, spark plugs, and zinc.

primed the fuel and it fired up in a half a turn....
