Replacing the Tilt Trim Motor...

[GreenF350]

Ok, I know I have posted a few times, but after a few feeble attempts to get the pins out, I am seriously thinking about taking it in to have it done. Anyone know how much labor this might cost me, or at least how many hours they would charge for? Thanks.

probaly starting at 200 in labor
that is just a guess denpends on the shop
some guys will give you a fair deal , some will look to take you to the cleaners on that kind of stuff. dont give up . my lower stuck in drive shaft
i worked on it for hours and hours than one day it popped off .
im sure these guys can give you a more accurate figure but generaly
mechanics dont like to work on problamatic stuff its more of a you should have brought it to me kind of thing .good luck

I haven't messed with the one on my motor too much. I lubed it up, took the nuts off and gave it a handfull up whacks to see if it would move.....No joy. Since then I have put the time into the "donor unit" that is still installed in the frame. That one isn't moving either, but the frame is junk so I will just get the torch out and cut that one out...Can't do that to the one on the good motor though.

Be careful of heat around the trim pump.all of those rubber seals and o-rings will not like it!
