Hey Guys, I have the upper pin on my gimbal giving me a problem. Any advice on persuading it to come out? Kind of at a loss on this... It's all I have left to pull to get the gimbal out. Hoping I can get this done before the weekend gets here!

Removing the gimbal ring right? I assume you removed the nut on top and the clamping bolt for the steering arm. I think that upper swivel shaft has a threaded hole in it and you can screw a long bolt into and use a slide hammer. I used a bolt through a hole in a board, then used a hammer to drive the bolt down. I am not too familiar with one that old.

You dont need to remove anything but the drive to get the gimbal "bearing" out
