Installation Guide

  1. Secure the sterndrive in a stable position, trimming it to provide clear access to the hinge pins.
  2. Align the Hinge Pin Tool with the head of the hinge pin you intend to remove.
  3. Attach a standard socket wrench to the 12-point head of the tool.
  4. Apply firm, steady pressure counter-clockwise to loosen and unthread the hinge pin from the gimbal housing.
  5. Once the old pin is removed, clean the threads and prepare the new hinge pin for installation.
  6. Position the new hinge pin and use the tool to thread it into place, turning clockwise.
  7. Tighten the hinge pin to the manufacturer's specified torque to ensure a secure fit.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this tool will fit my sterndrive?
A: This tool is compatible with all Mercury MerCruiser Alpha One (Gen 1 and 2), Bravo (I, II, III, X, XR, XZ), MC-1, and MR sterndrive units. It is specifically designed as a direct replacement for OEM part number 91-78310 and related aftermarket parts.

Q: What makes this tool different from a standard socket?
A: This is a purpose-built tool machined to fit the unique shape of the sterndrive hinge pins perfectly. Using a standard socket or incorrect tool can strip the pin head, making removal extremely difficult.

Q: Do I need any other special tools for the job?
A: While this tool addresses the hinge pin itself, you will need a standard socket wrench to operate it. We also recommend having a torque wrench to ensure the new pin is tightened to the correct OEM specification.

Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.

Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
A: We offer fast global shipping—typically 5–15 days worldwide—and standard shipping is free. Expedited options are available at checkout depending on your location.

Q: What is your warranty and return policy?
A: This product includes a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard return window (unused & in original condition); please see our policy page or reach out for instructions.

Finally!
I search constantly for toys without a squeaker and never seem to find one. My curious pup loves ripping them out so I stay away from them. But finally one that he loves but has no interest in tearing apart because it has no squeaker!! Win!

Squeakerless
It is very life like. Held up well but is starting to show some wear after 6 months. I attempting to repair a couple of holes that have shown up. The sqeakerless is nice but would love a noiseless squeaker. I would give 5 stars if I can patch the holes.

Almost 2 years now! Super strong and the puppers loves it. NO SQUEAKER!!!! YAY
Nov 2022 marks 2 years it's now near Oct 2022 unless this thing completely falls apart in the next month it's gonna easily make 2 years. I honestly see this going 3-4 years. There is little damage still. Just a tear near the ear that isn't spreading and the tail is still showing the tiny amount of white. This thing is a beast! Video is from almost Oct 2022. 1 year and 2 months on (last three pics are of it currently) and it's still holding up nearly perfectly. Bought this in Nov of 2020 Jan 2022 it's still around while all other toys are destroyed. This is completely worth every single penny. 6 month update: See pictures for the only damage to the toy so far. Note the tail is the place my girl tends to offer me to grab. She also gnaws on that area and the ears. The one ear has fur missing now. Eyes are still good to go as they are stitched rather than separate plastic eyes. However for 6 months of dog abuse, I'd say the toy is holding up quite well. I feel I'll get close to a year out of it maybe a bit more or less. The pupper girl always destroys her toys. This one has lasted quite a while compared to the others. I don't see this falling apart for a while. I believe we may get a year or more out of it. Well worth the price!

not for aggresive chewers
This premium priced toy did not last 15 minutes with my 14 month old 34 poundf Labradoodle. I had great expectations based on the description but the very cute squirrel toy did not last, First hole was through one of the eyes and the internal stuffing was then spread everywhere.
