The guy before you probably used a pipe wrench, but hopefully
you can come up with something better.
It looks like my Mk 6 could have used an open end wrench on the
flats below the top most piece, but guessing the Mk 5 is different?Can you use a couple of roll pins for the pipe wrench to engage
instead of directly on the flywheel nut?
Prepare to be boarded!
The best tool for removing Ratchet, Starter part # 22680
is Mercury Service Tool M-60-557 Starter Ratchet Wrench
as shown on page # 25 of Mercury Service Tool Catalog
posted in Old Iron part of this site.
Lacking the specific tool, you will have to pad a pipe wrench,
jam rope into cylinder thru spark plug opening
and keep in mind Righty Tighty, Leffy Loosey…
I have sometimes found Mercury Service Tools at
club swap meets. Once bought a bucket of the
clamps used on 6 cylinder engines….found I had
no use for them and sold them bucket and all
at another meet for the same dirt cheap price
I paid and had to enlist a trusted member to
assure buyer the tools were what he needed
and I was not a crook.
There are some Mercury Service Tools with a simple
work around and others where the Service Tools are
VERY nice to have.

I have made a couple from exhaust pipe scraps.
I spent quite a bit of time on my first one. I
don’t think I spent 30 min on the second.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
Those coils are no longer available however
you can substitute the OMC style coil with a
little work.
