## Discrepancy

ON LANDING WHILE TRYING TO CLEAR RWY THE NWS TILLER WOULD NOT MOVE EITHER DIRECTION.  AFTER APPLYING EXCESSIVE FORCE, WAS ABLE TO STEER A/C TO TUG FOR TOW IN.  IT WAS EXTREMELY STIFF AND HAD A GRINDING FEEL.  DUE TO WATER ACCUM ON NOSE GEAR STEERING FROZEN AT ALTITUDE, LUBRICATED NOSE GEAR PER M/M.  TAXIED A/C, OP CK NORMAL.
