Hello all , I need to replace the trim / tilt seals on my boat. I purchased the parts and a spanner wrench ( bent and broke the pins) . I was able to remove the starboard side but cannot break the port side free. when trying to loosen the port side the pins on the spanner wrench broke. can anyone assist with this ? My boat is on a trailer so I can meet someone that can assist ,…
?
PARTS STORE ; SPRAY CAN OF BREAK FREE ; SOAK CYL THREADS LIBERALY FOR A COUPLE DAYS ; GET NEW SPANNER AND TRY AGAIN ;; GOOD LUCK !!!

I’ve had good luck with plain ole diesel fuel to penetrate threads.Might need to use a pin punch and a hammer to break loose initially.
