    This can be tough, forcing it can result in damage…Even if you free it up, you will probably need to disassemble it to get it cleaned and properly lubed….Using heat will make a mess and melt the bushings. I’m sure you are planning to do a water pump job, so the powerhead has to be removed anyway…I guess I would just pull it apart, no big deal pulling the swivel assembly off the exhaust housing….All that being said, it can be tricky to figure out how to get the steering arm out of the swivel housing when it is stuck….
