I've had a couple surgeries on my hand and having a hard time turning the wheel on my Sunstar. Does anyone have any fixes to make it easier? I've lubed all the steering parts but it hasn't helped. Any secrets? Herb

Mark, I did grease the gears but it didn't make any change. I remember reading about a kit that made the linkage work better but don't remember if it was for the Sunstar. I think that it put a few slippery shims and a different bolt in the linkage. Does that ring any bells with you? Thanks for the help. Herb:
