Hahaha I was trying to remove mine in reverse I hammered the little pin out on the handle and I was trying to figure out how to get it completely threaded through, though taking the little clip off that I thought couldn't be removed and using adjustable wrench for leverage is way better lol
I recently purchased a 1980 Evinrude 15. It came on a stand and I needed to heat the transom clamp screws to remove them; breaking off the handles in the process. I've purchased a replacement pair. My question is should I grease them prior to installation to prevent them from binding in the future? Thanks
Great video! My one clamp slides in and out without threading it. Almost like the threads are completely gone, but the other works as it should. Not to sure what to do about that? You have any advice thanks!
@@BrandonsGarage It's cross threaded or something else damaged the threads. I'm going to cut it flush and start drilling it out. It's only aluminum, after all. Good video though! Thanks for your quick response to my reply, as well! You got a new subscriber here.
First try heating the screw, don't overdo it, aluminum will melt. Kodibass (Utuber) also drills small holes through the bracket to the screw and injects penetrating oil. Last resort is to cut the screw flat with bracket (handle side) and drill the screw material out. If the bracket threads are damaged, you will have to tap & die them clean or enlarge them to the bigger size clamp screw. Always use lots of penetrating oil and Good luck !
