I have stuck/frozen trim pins on an 86 VP 290 drive. Trim cylinders shot.
A VERY experienced mechanic (and passed away) said to internally pull them using a 6mm bolt and the appropriate sized (wider) washers to extract them from inside.
This is when the grease gun and VP tool don't work.
I tried tonight and swear I'm going to break the grade 10.9 metric bolt - no pin movement.
Any other ideas? I mainly need to provide reverse latch operation - so trim isn't a biggie.
The reverse latch isn't working, can anyone talk me through the repair. I looked at the "hooks" and they appear fine, but the mechanism moves easily up and down by finger pressure (outdrive is roped up).
If I can get the drive to stay locked in reverse - that would work!
Any help would be appreciated!
