Just an idea. Maybe others had thought of something similar. In my searching the forums, I hadn't seen this as a suggested fix for a stuck steering shaft - the shaft that the steering rod passes through - properly known as the steering tilt tube.
.
I wrapped them with clear tubing so the PB Blaster could soak and seep further into the tube.
.
It was frozen stuck and a hammer wouldn't even move it. But after soaking an hour like this, I can spin the shaft some.
.
I'll post back if successful or not, but it wasn't budging. And spraying PB Blaster at it wasn't doing it.
