If you do not have experience with outdrives, I would suggest paying to have it done. As I remember the book calls for 8 hours.(coffie breaks included) This is memory only, I think the ring is around $700 the bolt $50. and the rest being labor. If you have it down this far you would want to replace the drive bellows also. Good luck.
P.S. Tighting down the bolt will not fix your problem. I have never heard of anyone losing steering. I have lived the experience good luck..

Great info there.
Thanks a bunch!
Well I cleaned the threads and got new Ubolt nuts. I tightened it up 5lb at a time up to 60lb ft. It is solid as a rock now.
Thanks for the info guys.
Will
