Re: kingpin removal
I've usually driven them out by striking the top with a brass drift. So out the bottom they come.
I support the I beam on a jack stand first, then remove the wheel, tire and all hardware. I usually spray some BP blaster on the king pin then let it soak overnight before hammering them out too.
Hope this helps you.

Re: kingpin removal
I've also used a bottle jack with a small ram and pushed them out from the bottom.
forrestbump's method works best if they're really rusted in.

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak
That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!
