On my last ride I noticed a "pop" sound coming from the front of my quad. When I got home and gave her a bath I noticed that where the steering stem and the tie rod end meet is all ovaled out. The problem is that I can't get the tie rod end off, the nut won't back off, so now I'm stuck...any tricks for breaking that nut off?

Push the boot up slightly on the tie rod end, use 2 14mm (could be a 12mm I forget) wrenches to get it off. Theres a nut on the top hidden by the boot.

If the stem is ovaled out. It will never be the same I used washers for awhile to keep it tight, but thighten them all the time got old so I found a new stem.
