Hi Everybody! I was wondering if someone could give me some insight as to the removal of the OMC Cobra trim rams? I have found lots of info on rebuilding them and whatnot, but nothing on a difinitive method of removing them. It's my understanding that it's not that difficult, but I don't have my manual yet, and the one available online doesn't tell you how to get them off. I have the outdrive supported by a floor jack and I have nuts off the pins, but they won't move very far and it seems like the shafts are flexing. I don't want to break or bend anything, so any guidence would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to relieve pressure in the rams or something. When I was tapping on the knuckle trying to get it off the pin, it looked like the whole pin was coming out. Is that pin a solid piece that slides through the lower unit, and if so, is knocking that pin through one side the answer to my problem? Thanks for any help, fellas.
