Hi,

I'm trying to get in just deep enough on my buddy's '91 OMC Cobra to replace the u-joint bellows which was a bit marginal. After readying the service manual and various posts about adjusting the shift cable, I'm a bit spooked.

Is there a way to pull the pivot housing far enough away without disassembling the shift cable system?

The cable looks and feels pretty good, so I'd like to avoid too much mucking about with it.

Thanks,

johnbo
