It's time to replace the 'ole, original teleflex steering cable on my Johnson 1985 120 HP. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the motor has to come off the transom to get this job done ( I have a 20' walk around Grady White ). <br /><br />The Shop Manual does not go into detail about this project, so I would appreciate a little advice. <br /><br />I also think it wise to R/R the tilt tube too - the tilt is very 'sticky' from this. <br /><br />Where do I start, and where are the '*****y parts' of the project ? Any tricks i.e. to get the tilt tube out of the bracket ( I was thinking - maybe a pipe the same size diameter as the tube - hit lightly w/ a hammer? ) <br /><br />Any special installing / lubing for the new cable ? <br /><br />Thx, <br /><br />Alan ( abl1111@aol.com )

Sounds like you can handle it. If you're going to replace the tilt tube, do change the plastic bushings as well.
