First trip of the season and the steering goes out. 2017 Shockwave 6.2 350 with Bravo 1. I get it off the trailer and steering wheel gets really hard to move. I got it back on the trailer and straight to Barrett. Although they were slammed, they immediately got a tech to help me. Visually everything looked fine. Took the belt off the power steering pump and spun it. It appeared normal.
Disconnected the steering cable from the steering wheel and the binding continued. They guy threw some lube on where it connects to the cable and made an improvement but then resorted back.
But being that it still binded with nothing hooked up makes you think it’s at the steering column/helm assembly. No parts to replace that and the fact Barrett couldn’t fit me in I was on my way. That tech worked on it for like an hour and they refused to take my money! Awesome of them. pS reservoir was full and showed no leaks.
Ok so I got it back to the house and my goal is to remove the steering hub and take it home. I’m having trouble removing the cap with the Shockwave logo. I’m not sure how to take it off. Can someone help? I found the part I believe I have so I’m going to try and replace it. Also, I found a rivet broken near where the steering cable goes to the steering wheel but I’m not sure it would affect it. I need help removing this thing as I am stuck.
