Re: 1987 Force tilt/trim pump repair
Hello to you!<br /><br />Havent been in this forum for a while, but here is something I learned when I changed the rings for my trim:<br /><br />Be were gentle when opening the screws. Mine were corroed badly and suprise, suprise, they went broken. So, it is good to have a set of helicoils or something to fix the coils. When putting the cylinder back together, use a lot of lube to get the piston back with the new o-ring.<br /><br />Also, be careful when openinig the oilpipes, it is very easy to brake the coils from there too. Not sure do you have to open them at all, but if you have to be careful.<br /><br />Cause the casing is made of something like aluminium (at least mine was) it is not good to heat the bugger too much, cause it melts quite easily.<br /><br />Have a good repair,<br /><br />-Jaba-
