Hey does anybody have any tricks to get the nylock type nut for the tiller arm on a early 2000s 9.9 high thrust , it has 2 notches in it and the dealer says that they just use 2 punches and a screw driver to remove it... seems hokey to me but who knows lol

I got to replace the shift cable on mine. And the tiller needs to be removed in order to fish the new cable into place.

cheers
 
Went through the same thing twice. What a dumb design. First the throttle then the shift lever. Mine was welded on with rust, boat mechanic told me to just use a dremel to cut it off thats what they do to save time. Worked as suggested,
