Changing King pin's on D60

[1987Blazer]

Anyone have some advise on the best way to get the old king pins out??

I don't think the ones that are in there are that bad but I have all the parts to replace them.

Heat, and lots of torque.
If you need the 7/8" allen I might have one in the garage that you could use.



Did you post the free stuff on SCBD?
If so tell me how to get to your house......

If the old ones look OK, its probably a lot less headache to leave them in there, and just replace the bushings and springs!

Soaked in PB Blaster for 2 days, mine came right out, I was kinda suprised. Not the horror story that I've heard, although I imagine it does happen.

X4, changing kingpins that are OK is kinda like getting a root canal for the hell of it, because you're at the dentist for a cleaning anyways...
