new king pins very tight

[beater74]

i completely rebuilt my upper and lower king pins and they are very tight. with out the hubs or spindles on them i can barely turn them. should they be this tight?
i know when hubs and shafts are on there it will give it more mass and be a little easier to turn but holy cow are they stiff.

Ya it is normal. When I did mine I could barely move the spindles when the tierod was attached. Having the hub on gives you a little bit of leverage.
