I need to get the handle bar straight on the wife's SX600R. With the skies straight the bars are turned to the left. I know I need to take the tie rod off at the steering bell and give it a few turns. Here is where the problem starts. I can't brake the tie rod loose from there. I have soaked it in penatrating fluid, for two days and still no luck. The next place to adjust is under the motor and I don't really want to go that route yet. I can't believe the guy rode it like this for 3700 kms. It drives me nuts watching the wife ride it like that.

Anybody got any tips for getting that sucker apart. There is not a lot of room for leverage, and I can't hit the bolt from the bottom.
