Steering work on cub

Hello all-thanks to everyone who gave valuable advice on tackling my steering issue. More questions; two Jack stands under the front axle, one on each side just inside the spindles after jacking up, would not put any kind of bind on the steering would it?
What is the best way to disconnect the tie rods?
I have been in resources but am I missing something on downloading the manuals and then getting them to open? I can download, and see a notice I am downloading, but end up with an image of the front of the download but can’t open it. Not a real computer whiz, but willing to work. Sorry for all the questions and the long post.

No, if the front wheels are off the ground, the steering should turn freely from side to side.

At the center, there is a plate that holds the tie rods to the steering gear arm. There are 2 bolts facing up holding the plate on. You may need to scrape off old grease to find the bolt heads.
There are shims there to adjust the tightness of the tie rods.

If you are clicking on the small picture of the front of the manual, that is all that is there.
The download for the whole manual is usually at the upper right of the page, click the button there.
GSS-1411 is a good Cub and LoBoy service manual to use. It has lots of info.
There is a contents beginning on page 1 of most sections of it, that makes it easier to use online.
Here it is below. :)
