Re: 1956 johnson 5.5hp steering bracket removal

I'm not sure, you "might" have to remove the powerhead, but I don't think so. At the least, remove the clamshells from the lower motor mounts, remove the vertical throttle linkage shaft, remove the lower front motor cover (pan). Hopefully, that will give you access to the upper front rubber mount nut. Loosen that nut several turns and remove the nuts from the upper side mounts. Then rock the whole motor assembly out of the steering bracket.
