Use piston spanner wrench, P/N T-553, to remove
the piston from the rod of trim and tilt assembly,
P/N 5007776.
Remove the end cap from the rod.
Inspection
Remove ALL debris. Thoroughly clean and dry all
parts before continuing. Remove ALL old thread
locking compound from threaded parts.
Inspect the piston, rod and cylinder bore for
scratches or damage which could allow seals to
leak. If the piston, rod or cylinder bore are dam-
aged, replace the trim and tilt assembly. Do not
use sharp objects to install o-rings or seals.
Inspect the installation tools. Make sure all tools
are free from nicks, burrs and scratches. Replace
damaged tools.
Assembly
IMPORTANT:
Always use the correct trim/tilt flu-
id. Some trim and tilt assemblies use Power
Trim/Tilt and Steering Fluid, and some use
Evin-
rude/Johnson Biodegradable Trim/Tilt Fluid. Refer
to the correct service manual.
2-Cylinder Models
Install a new o-ring into the piston. Refer to Ser-
vice Charts on p. 292.
Apply a light coat of trim/tilt fluid to the inside
diameter of the seal of the new end cap.
Install the end cap on the rod as shown.
Apply trim/tilt fluid to the piston o-ring. Install the
piston o-ring on the piston. Make sure the o-ring is
NOT damaged or twisted. Remove and reinstall
the o-ring correctly if necessary.
