Looked like it might have been possible to do them without it, though. Easier than most light-duty pins I ever did back in my youth. Shame more designers don't understand the basic principle of the taper! yes at my age i would do that get it right down to the bare spindle....i intalled my air starter at 38 im not even sure if i could pull it out now at 65 lol.bob 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to use oxy acetylene torch to heat up the steering knuckle so we could turn the nut. if proper 3/4 dr " screwdriver" socket isn't available , i've used a piece of 1/4 x 1 1/2? flatstock with large adjustable wrench to work and loosen the lower nut. remove nut and thrust bearing a block of wood under the spindle held tight to spindle with floor/bottle jack. makes for solid hitting. i had a length of 1in bar -8-12 in long that had a pipe welded to it. made for safe holding of bar and short distance away from sledge hammer. one holding pipe/bar another swings the sledge. another positive of the block under spindle when king pin frees and falls the block keeps it in place spindle doesn't fall on toes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Can't remember the part number for the kit on mine. It was the 9K axle. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
