Ok, I've got to ask.

Why the special tool and on what kind of engine?

Merc outboards use a taper pin with a big flat head like a nail. You
are supposed to be able to knock it loose with a screwdriver and a
hammer but all that did was bend the pin.


Speaking of old Mercs ...... I wonder what happened to "Clams" somebody who
used to post here. He rebuilt old Mercs and had an inventory of old "Tower
of Power" parts. I used to enjoy his posts.
