Use a 1-1/16” socket 3/4” drive for the nut and get 3/4” square tubing about couple feet long and use crescent wrench on tubing to loosen brass nut. Don’t have to take bottom plate off or nothing like that.

Hello, I don't have the same jet ski as you do i have a 2002 GTX DI, however the steering cable system is set up pretty much the same way. That tool you used the long hollow one with the attachment at the end to loosen the screw at the back of the jet ski, do you know the name of it or where you got it? Not sure if that was a homemade tool or if you bought it. I am trying to avoid taking every piece of the jet ski at the back part to get to it. Thanks for the video i have been searching every video and just cant seem to find what i am looking for.
its a very nice illustration thanks a lot,but i have a question which needs an answer if you could please,my steering on my stx15f is kind of glocked wont move either direction,what do you recommend me do first? also the forward and back ward stick is not working,i could do not put it on reverse.
Has this jet ski been sitting for a long period of time? Seems like the cables may have both been exposed to some water and may have rusted and frozen up. You may need to replace both the steering cable and reverse cable
I’ve got a STX-15F that only turns right at speed. If you try to turn left it just goes straight. The ski turns perfectly normally at idle speed. Any thoughts? Thanks
That is bizarre and I can't think of any reason it would turn left while idling but not at higher speeds. The one thing that may effect your ability to turn one direction better than the other is if your "tuning" is off on your steering cable, only allowing you to turn a very little bit to left, but much more to the right. If this were the case, you should be able to see this when it is out of the water and you turn to one side then the other. There would be a noticeable difference in the travel from left to right. If that is the case you can adjust it.
@@lucrative11 Thanks. Yeah when you look at it from behind and turn the handlebars it looks totally normal and equal in both directions. I am completely baffled.
Hopefully u found it, but I linked it in a few comments here. If u do a Google search u should be able to sellers on eBay or possibly Amazon. I got mine off ebay.

You’re working on the same cable I need to replace! Since finding your video, I’ve purchased the seadoo tool (too small). I bought the Kawasaki too from partszilla (cancelled, out of stock). And today I received a 27mm crowsfoot from Amazon (fits but too awkward to seat). Any chance you’d rent me yours?!?
@@michaelaugustine4490 - Make sure the battery is actually bad. I've had connections come loose 2x on mine and I thought the battery had died. In particular the ones that run from the battery straight up to the box right above it. Good luck.
Gonna have to figure that out yourself, sorry. I mentioned how to attach the new cable to the old one and pull it through, but that wasn't gonna happen while holding the phone. This video was really made as a reference for myself in the future if I have to do it again. Didnt have u in mind, sorry.

@@lucrative11 great thanks a lot for your time sir
What kind of tool did you use for the back end of the steering cable?black socket? And the size of socket?
Sorry, very busy atm. Look through the comments, there is a bunch of info and your answers are here.

Shoot that one is unavailable. Just search Google or ebay for those keywords and you'll find it.
I'm wondering the same thing about the tool? I have a 1999 Seadoo GTI and everything looks about the same as well.
Google "seadoo steering cable tool" itll come up. Lot of sellers on ebay

I am guessing most everybody wanted to seehow to route the new cable in.
