Yup, you have just proved it it stuck int he tube, get a 3/8" Ratchet extension and use it and a hammer to push the steering rod out. I use the extension because it fits in there real nice on the OMC's.
I just talked to the teleflex company and they seem to think the shaft has broken thus leaving the part sticking out of the port side but allowing the starboard side to come out. There damn online site is down so I can't see what the hell they are saying. Maybe I should just hack saw the shaft off and push it thru to the port side instead of going all the way thru to the starboard side. Seems I will have to replace the whole cable anyway if broken. I will put some liquid wrench into the tube and wait an hour to see if it loosens up the thing. P.
