How to remove bulkhead fitting?
The one on the transom plate for the drive reservoir
oil.
How do you remove it? (I broke it on the outside while
doing a bellows overhaul, and my service manuals are
40 miles away right now).

Thanks for the reply Nordic 95. I got it just after I had futzed
around and figured it out.
On the inside of the transom (after removing exhaust manifold,
water intake hose, oil cooler water hose) you push on a little
clip in a quick disconnect fitting (while severely contorted over
engine and everything else) and the fitting comes loose. Then
you pry loose the little e-clip (you know, those things that go
flying off to who knows where just when they come lose). Then
you go outside and pull it out.
Getting the e-clip back on is the thing I'm dreading the most putting
it back together. I think I'll tie some very fine thread to the ring
in case it wants to fly away.
All this on a Nordic 35 with twin 575SCi's that I'm replacing bellows
and hinge pins.
