Hello! So I was trying to replace the reservoir oil line that goes from transom fitting to out drive (Bell Housing) and the barb coming off the pass threw fitting broke. The previous in-stall had the hose pinched against the side from torqueing it down so while I was trying to slide the new hose on was having difficulty's and was trying to use a flat head screwdriver to assist it up on the fitting. and it snapped off. I already removed the nut on the inside of the transom plate and in side hose thinking I can tap it out. but its stuck in place. also tried using a slide hammer with a pair of vice grips on the outside to pull it out and still won't budge. my suspicion's is there is a nut on the inside of the outer transom plate. I really don't want to pull the motor the remove the plate so I can see what's holding this in. My question is has anyone had this problem before? and how was it fixed? Does anyone have a picture of the inside of the outer transom plate so I can see what's inside? I have the exploded view of the transom assembly but the fittings look different than what I have, I cant find anything that shows a nut. Also is it possible to just plug the remote reservoir hole on the bell housing, eliminating the oil reservoir completely? will this cause damage or does the oil need to expand somewhere?
