Default Re: Frozen Steering Cable - Mercury Tracker

I'm not sure which silver bolt you are talkin about, the one on the steering rod, or the one that attahes this rod to the engine.But it's probably the froze-up problem you are looking for. All I can tell you is lotts of bolt-blaster like WD40 or liquid wrench,tapping and rubber mallet. Watch the threads, that you don't mushroom them.Where in Florida are ya? If you are within 50miles of Lehigh, Email me, I'll come help ya this Saturday.
