Marine Tech Tools Outboard 35mm Pin Wrench with L-6 Pins (AMT0009-35mm x 6mm) - Tilt caps fit on All SHOWA Manufactured Trim/Tilt Units, Yamaha, Suzuki, Johnson, Honda, & Evinrude

I'm glad I decided to get this instead of a universal gland nut wrench after reading other reviews. To get it to move, I had to use this tool along with a 24-inch breaker bar. This tool sunk its teeth into it and turned it with ease, causing no damage. It's a no-brainer because this tool is less expensive than a new end cap, and if you damage the end cap, you might not be able to get it apart at all. Yes, it's pricey, but if you step on a Snap-on, you'll be glad you did. If you look at what they charge for specialty tools of similar quality on the truck, you'll see that this isn't really that expensive; I understand and appreciate quality. This tool is on par with any other I have.

When working on your trim cylinder, this is exactly what you want. You may think the price is high, but believe me when I say it is well worth the money to avoid damaging your cylinder caps by using the proper tool. If you damage your cap by using a low-cost or incorrect tool, After that, you'll need to spend around $200 to replace the cap. I used this tool, and it made the job a lot easier. At first, I used a less expensive tool, which I bent. The tool was bent, but not my cap, so it was a good lesson learned. In addition, the Marine Tech company employs some of the best customer service representatives in the industry. They respond quickly and are extremely helpful. It's wonderful to work with such a reputable firm. I strongly suggest it.

Although the cylinder is an overpriced piece of metal, rebuilding it yourself will save you hundreds of dollars. It enables you to open the cylinder without difficulty in minutes and reassemble it with confidence. You could certainly return it after one use, but I'd rather keep it for the next time or for a friend in a pinch. Because I didn't waste time rigging it and scratching the aluminum, it was well worth the money.

If fools rush in, the pins may come loose. Don't put your entire trust in this magical tool. You'll still need to use your brain and a little muscle to get the job done. Make sure you're using the same amount of pressure and balance. Make sure you use common sense when making decisions. I used this tool to remove a stubborn salt water TT cap from my head. The tool pins popped out and scarred the holes on the first attempt, which was done without patience, common sense, or proper balancing. Who was to blame for that? Mine or the equipment. Patience, common sense, and correctly applied pressure were used in the second attempt. Movement. Nice, I kept using the tool, and a stubborn cap came off with it. It's an excellent tool that will serve you well. All you have to do now is figure out how to make it work for you. I'm looking forward to purchasing additional sizes as needed when other TT come to me for repair. Some caps may be stubborn in their removal. That is a possibility. This tool, however, is effective for those who are worth removing. It's well-made and will last a lifetime. In the future, I plan to do more TT work.

I was adamant about not spending any money on this tool. After all, it's a one-person show. I'm not in the business of overhauling tilt systems, so I can't help you with that. However, I'm in the business of wrenching as much as possible. I tried a few other options (a Harbor Freight pin spanner and a drilled-out adjustable wrench), but none of them worked well enough to remove the cap comfortably. This tool, on the other hand, is exceptionally well-made and performs admirably. Don't cut corners if you're trying to save money by doing this job yourself. If you make a mistake with the pin holes, you're in for a much higher pay.

On a 1979 Johnson 115 tilt/trim cylinders, the tool performed admirably in removing the end caps. Without a tool like this, the task would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Excellent tool, but the price is significantly higher than it should be given the tool's complexity. They charge whatever they want because they know how important the tool is.

I went with the 32mm lens because it was the tiniest. It was a lovely tool, but I snapped the pins off quickly. I replaced them and managed to get one pin to kick sideways in the tool's threaded hole. So, if you have a newer cylinder that is perhaps less stuck, this should work fine. However, I am not a big fan of it.

After months of deliberation, I finally agreed. It wouldn't even budge after I tried adjustable spanner tools, a heat gun, and the "cut a wedge and drive it in with a chisel and hammer trick. " At one point, I even attempted to sell the vessel. I purchased and used this tool as a last resort, and the problem was solved in a matter of minutes. Although this is a costly tool, it is still much less expensive than having your boat serviced.
