Does anyone know how to keep the inner tie rod ends from spinning while trying to remove the nuts? I am refering to the ends on the steering stem. Can't seem to get them off. Thanks. Karl

I just adjusted my toe last month and actually read the manual before hand. It said that some of the nuts are left hand thread. I'm glad that I read that otherwise I wouldn't have known. I sprayed some WD40 to help out also.

Coincidentally, two weekends ago while I was lining up for a jump, the steering knuckle broke on the right side. One front tire was pointing straight and the other one was turning left hardcore! I ordered a new steering knuckle from Suzuki and the new one is much tougher than the other one. There is more material around the tie rod hole and the entire piece is better. Everyone should have a look at their steering knuckles so that their respective weekends don't get ruined like mine did.
