Re: How to Disassemble TILT CYLINDER ASY on V6

im going thru same thing now got fustrated with it as i couldnt find anything online about it. let me guess the o ring was leaking? finally i took to a good repair shop near me they told me its a entire assembly and you have to buy the whole "rod assembly" its about 250.00. mind you before everyone else blows me up telling me it can come apart i tried for a week and no avail. i got aggrivated with it and thats why the repair shop has it now :facepalm: i really trust this shop and have never done me wrong and always helped me out. sometimes for free but keep us posted and good luck!!

If I were you,I think I would have a talk with the repair shop,feel free to copy pic and take it with you. Thanks,good luck came..........

Dont forget to check inside your cap for corrosion(where seals scraper and washer goes)If so chuck it and get a new one.Around $85, i shopped around and got for $57.

Re: How to Disassemble TILT CYLINDER ASY on V6

yep,about same corrosion as mine.After cleaning mine and putting back together my trim rods wont move...lol so now im trying to get those caps off to rebuild.
Fixing stuff is easy....getting it apart is the hard bit.
our summer is coming soon so im getting stressed about this damn TnT pump.

I think the book says not to remove the bottom starboard side.
The port side bottom on mine I had off once before awhile back,got it lose with a hammer and punch,you have to be carefull tho.

Getting anything on that @#$n trim is a feat,I guess if you had the right tools,would be a breeze.

You think you may just have air in your system?,could be the reason why the trim rods don't move. You can send some of that summer back here.

Re: How to Disassemble TILT CYLINDER ASY on V6

i bled it a few times and ram goes up and down no problem.trim rods dont move.Not back on boat yet so i was thinking maybe some load might get it to move.

Are your trim rods out right now? The trim rods don't get pressurised at the rod end to go back in, they rely on the weight of motor to push rods back in. If still off boat, try pushing rods back in by hand while opertaing trim down, might need two people for this.

If your corrosion is only minor where scraper seal goes, nothing to worry about, the scraper doesn't seal oil from getting out of cylinder, only keeps rod clean. The inner o-ring in head is what seals the oil, as long as that recess is in good shape, you're good to go. Check the rod for any scratches, if you can feel anything with you're finger nail don't put it back together, seal will leak again. Hydraulic shops should be able to rechrome that rod if needed.

Nice looking tool, whatever works to get her apart in one piece. Congrats
