Also read if you get the top pin out it can be tipped back to get to the trim motor without touching the Lower pin

That's what I was hoping when I went for the top one.
But of course......not on mine. I checked and it will hit the port side bracket and only move out a bit.

sawzall trick is your best bet. try to spread the brackets as much as possible. there is a plastic bushing in there. cut though the bushing and then through the pin. trick to stainless with a sawzall is to go slow and steady(also don't poke the transom. takes a while but is really the easiest way. I do two or three of these a year that are stuck like that and almost never fails. once the unit is out if you have access to a press a little heat and you should be able to press it right out. make sure to grease the snot out of the new pin before you put it back in.
