Unable to turn motor

[AJC]

I had the same problem with my motor last two years and had to use a torch to loosen it up.

What type of grease are you guys using, and what seems to work best on the motor fittings?

Also, how difficult is it to add another grease fitting to the top of the tube?

It seams this topic comes up every year at this time and every year there are numerous posts.

A quick search for steering will show the years of trials and errors.

Anyway, I had the problem one year and installed a grease nut in place of one end nut, pump it full o grease at the end of the year and the next, no problem.

Here's a link for the Davis Lube nut:

Do a search for the nut, cause I think you can get it cheaper somewhere else, even direct from the manufacturer.
