First off if they think it is the auto pilot disconnect the chain. And see if it turns free. If still stuck is the rudder fouled. Is there growth between the rudder and skeg if not remove the cable

Hi Gianni, Yes, remove the 4 studs and then the 2 circlips. I did not require an extractor to remove the bearing. Pleased that motor is not damaged-- cost is 2000
