Frozen adjuster in steering box

Post by tuney443 » Tue Jul 28, 2020 1:59 pm

On my 450C, the left steering has never been good as it barely breaks the track. Hopefully it's just an adjustment but I have a bad feeling whoever's put the internals back on that left box, has the self adjustment mechanism backwards. On the right side I can move the wheel fairly easy as the self adjustment plate is facing out. On the left side, it appears reversed with the plate looking upside down and facing inwards. That wheel will not turn 1 iota with some serious prodding, of course with that plate out of the way. Anybody here with any ideas?

Finally got it to move but it appears after I got it to the end of its travel, nothing changed on the feel of the steering lever. There's hardly any resistance at all. I guess it needs to be split, will wait for the Winter now.
