I changed one my king pins in the new disc brake front end setup. It only took me 4 hours to change just one and if i may say so it was a major pain. It took a lot of heating and a lot of beating and some cutting but I finally got the old wore out king pin out. took me 3 1\2 hours just to get it out but after that it was easy sailing after that and I made sure to never-seize the new one when I installed it. I also have one question their is a little rubber thing that comes in the new kit that slides onto the king pin and I was wondering if I put it in the right spot so if anyone can tell me where it goes that would be great. I put it right above the bearing I'm pretty sure that is where it goes but just wanting to make sure.

My suggestions for changing king pins is a lot of patients.

All of the parts and stuff are at my shop and I'm at home now but I will be try to remember to take my camera with me in the morning to take a picture or two. I will be sure to take a picture of my redneck way to fix the cap's that go above and below the kingpins because the threads one on the top cap of the kingpin that I just replaced stripped out so I jb-welded in on there. it may me redneck but it worked!!!
