How do I cut the steer stops on the Clod knuckles to improve steering angle ?I couldn't find anything specifically on this ... I would like to know ;What tool to use and hopefully see pictures of how its done? Cheers!

u could use a pair of side cutters to take em off...then use a dremmel or some sandpaper to smooth it out

i have not done this yet...but will be in a few hours

You should also cut off the 4 little knubs (steering stops) on each knuckle to increase turning radius. I use a pair of wire cutters or knips, but you can use a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel (use safety glasses) or any other means.

Its all been asked and explained,so check the sticky's before you get a flamming

why ask?

turn the wheels all the way one direction and hold it up to your face to see just what is holding them back from turning farther! Then Cut, Grind, Sand, File, hammer, torch, however you want

Just cut and grind the knuckles not the C's that way you keep all the strength of the C's.
