7/8" allen for Kingpins....

[Zeus33rd]

Where the hell can I buy one?

I'd rather buy the actual tool than make one with a piece of 7/8 hex stock....

Mc master carr catalog, Msc, graiger, or if thier is a store like bearings and drives or a napa that sells to alot of industrial places have them in stock.

I checked out McMaster...but lost my patince with the website.

No worries though, someone on Pirate found a link for me...

Joe,

Believe it or not, I think I got mine at Orchard Supply. I remember I was surprised they had it at the time... it was about $15 though!!

use a long 7/8" lugnut.it fits! unless you are gonna be rebuilding a bunch of d60's the lugnut trick works great

My local Ace Hardware (industrial/commercial supply one) has them in stock. They are like $20 each. Its a big mofo. It is called Six Points Ace Hardware on Grand Ave.

it looks like its way easyer to rebuild kingpins than balljoints or am i wrong?

snapon also has a 7/8 allen socket, but you know you will have to sell your kidney and probably one maybe two lungs to afford there over priced tools.

 

[beater_k20]

Snap On tools are pricy, but as i have found out, this is one case that is definitely you get what you pay for.

pick up a big cheater bar as well, your going to need it

Yes, kingpins are WAY easier to rebuild than balljoints. Everything is bolt on unlike the ball joints which are pressed on. BUT it is more expensive too.

beater, your right i can say i have to agree. i get snapon tools when it warrents a really good tool, and i can spring for it.
