BTW, Have you ever cleaned your tilt motor?? That is what this project is all about.

Thanks again,

yea caption says pull right off. Sorry came out so small. NO I havent yet cleaned out my tilt motor. that is one of the things on my list to do but time right now prohibits me from doing that. But that is to remove the panel under the steering wheel where your feet are. But the panel directley under the steering wheel is different.
