Bought the hinge pin tool from BAM. Soaked pins from the inside of the gimbal ring with PB Blaster for a few days (one application a day) before trying it. Took a 1/2" breaker bar and a 2ft pipe "extension". They came loose with a loud bang.

If they have not been apart for a few years...heat is a necessity. I had one that was so frozen up last year that I had to cut it out with a sawzall. I had to use a special tungsten/carbide Lennox blade..took an hour and lots of cutting oil. When I finally got it off I found out that the U-Joint Bellows collar was half rotted away so I had to get a new transom assembly any way.

Hinge pins are installed from the factory with loctite and you are supposed to reinstall them with loctite. Heat will help release them. Be carefull, you can pull the threads out easily. I'm not positive but I don't think PB Blaster or anything like that will affect loctite.
