Those of a squeamish disposition - you may need a stiff drink towards the end. I refrained from showing the clips where the outboard was vertically upside down. 'Desperate times, desperate measures' and all that!
This is a steep learning curve! The Tohatsu dealer didn't get back to me in the end - a shame.
Take pity - remember this is my first time ever servicing an outboard engine!

Excellent! Seriously.. well done...
Thanks Steve - steep learning curve. You well and safe?
All good here... just waiting for my way out of the current madness to appear, and the opportunity to go and splash some paint on Sparrow for the new season..
Glad to hear you are ok. Tohatsu got back to me and have confirmed it is a collapsed shaft bearing that has not been fitted properly at the factory. They were horrified that it had been dispatched to a dealer who then sold it to me without spotting the problem and then even more horrified that my servicing engineer hadn't spotted or mentioned it despite doing five services on it.
Ho hum!
Wow... So ££££££ horrified? We'll fix it for you free of charge horrified??? Good you got a response but what's their plan I wonder...
