Lower bushing replacement-need help

[Kentcb1972]

Any tips or tricks appreciated with replacing the lower bushing in bravo II gimble ring. I can’t find any info except they make a specialty tool for it. I’m new to installing this type of bushing. Don’t want to destroy it driving or pressing it in like a normal bushing.

Standard bushing removal and installation tool sets work wonders and make the job easy.

Just did the entire gimball assy / steering pin rebuild on my setup B3 last week, ( the gimbal is the same as as a B2). Bushings, with the proper extractors / drivers, were the easy part. Just go by the mercruiser manual procedure and it's very easy.

The extractors and drivers can be had just about anywhere, including Amazon(if you want the cheaper versions). Some auto supply stores, like autozone, will loan them to you for free.
