Hope some one has some Ideas.The steering was locked up when I bought the motor. I applied light heat and keep pumping grease and can move it now. I just can't seem to get it too turn unless two people push it back and forth. I only see one grease fitting towards the bottom.There are two at the top on each side where it turns but they don't seem to put the grease in the turn area. Please help

Time to go to the gym.:D But really you are going to need more than light heat,get that torch and spend an hour or two up and down the swivel until you boil the water out and pump in fresh grease.
