Re: problem with hydraulic trim cylinder replacement

The holes are for a spanner wrench. It screws off counterclockwise. Be careful of the O-rings when reassembling. They like to get cut on those threads. I don't know if they have them, but places like AutoZone loans out tools. Or take it to a marine dealer and maybe they can crack it loose for you and snug it up when you're done. That is if you can find one open. On-water facilities probably will be. Good luck.
