1989 Johnson GT 200: I am attempting to get ready to install an hydraulic steering system. I have run into a SNAFU. I cannot get the "steering rod" out of its cylinder - not certain of the correct terminology. See photos. The rod on the right side cannot be withdrawn any further...it moves freely back and forth, but it will not come out. The control cable has been cut off. The rod on the left side is stuck and appears to be separated internally from the right part of the rod. I watched a video on YouTube on how to remove the rod, proceeded as shown and ended up with this dilemma. What has gone wrong, and how do I fix it? I am trying to get the outboard working. I bought it and the boat and trailer from a bankruptcy liquidation, and would really like to resurrect it to take my grandsons fishing - 5 & 6 years old. Thanx.
