I wouldn't use a torch, rather a heat gun would be better. I went through the same thing this past winter. Heat the tube to get the grease inside more fluid and them you will start seeing grease come out of the bottom probably. You may see it come out of the top (probably not) Bottom more likely. Mine works great now.

oh the steering rod is stuck, ok do this, put a wrench on the end of the rod and move it up and down until it becomes loose shake it not to much just enought to break the grease thats holding it from sliding but a steering tube is probable going to need to be replaced some time but maybe not, its just stuck for now

My motor now turns. It took about 2 hours of manipulating it and spraying penetrating oil in it until it was free. Then I was able to put a whole bunch of grease in the tube and turned the wheel to work the grease all the way through. I appreciate all the input and advice from everyone. It would have taken me a lot longer without your guidance.
Thanks Carl

Carl, any particular advise that seemed to help the most? Like Steplift20's wrench comment? Did you have to beat or heat on it?
