Well after working with the suggestions made here - I finally said enough was enough - I was planning to replace the cable anyway, so I used a big pipe wrench, and with LOTS of muscle - was able to twist the steering shaft and get it to move - then using a 3 foot piece of Grade 5 bar-stock and a 5 lb hand sledge, proceeded to beat the shaft out of the tilt tube.....so it's all apart ann now working on the tilt tube - appreciate all of the help supplied here - thanks
