Subject: RE: truck kingpin removal


Sparta, WI

a4t-1600 - 12/24/2016 18:44 I have chain pots buried in the floor . I just chain them down and air jack them out. No torches either since I wont use the nylon over brass bushing sets that the nylon wears out and the brass embeddes into trekking pin If it has the screw in plugs on the top and bottom of the king pin be extremely careful doing anything with them since those threads are tender and its costly to screw them up. I can't believe how many we see that are welded into the spindle

 

That's what the aluminum plate is for. I put that between the top of the spindle and the top plate of my tool until the initial "pop" to cushion the top of the axle. I then take it out and push the kingpin up through the hole. I agree on the nylon bushings, they are junk. I have stared using the Kaiser no ream spiral bushings and time will tell how they are but the nylon was only lasting me a couple years.
