So I've had 3 or so seasons of trouble free operation because of all the advice from this forum and especially Frank Acampora. But unfortunately this year I've run into a problem. Last season the steering was very tight. This year I've found it completely stuck. I read through some threads and found some advice but haven't had much luck. I disconnected my steering cable to make sure that wasn't the problem. I pumped fresh grease into the fitting on the kingpin, plenty of grease comes out the bottom but none from the top. I heated up one side of top section with a heat gun and pumped in more grease, then heated the other side and pumped in more grease. It still won't budge.
Any other tricks or should I break out the motor stand and get to work on pulling the powerhead?
