update june 21…
nothing works 🙁 can’t unscrew the tiller friction adjusting bolt because the whole assembly including the spring turns
tried removing the half-moon friction bar no help
it looks like the nut is still on the threads because the spring tensioner did not fall down the hole … otherwise the bolt would have lifted out
is there a way to disassemble the tiller pivot shaft and transom bracket without taking this engine apart ????
that seems the only way to pull out the tiller tension adjustment shaft, spring , nut, and friction pads 🙁 🙁
thanks for any moral support
