steering box

Ok, I was going to try and adjust my steering a little via the little screw on the steering box. But the damn thing is rusted solid! Looks like one piece of metal now. I let oil soak on it overnight, wacked it a few times with a hammer. I don't wanna use heat because of all the oil and possible fuel around. Any ideas?

Try saturating the nut with Liquid Wrench. This stuff is kind of like WD-40 except it has something in it that breaks down rust. I have used it several times thinking I would never be able to loosen the nut and after soaking it over night they always came off. Good luck and let us know how it turns out (Punn Intended).
