Stuck lower kingpin

[odoa3]

Working on rebuilding the kingpins in a Dana 60. We got the upper out ok, however the lower plate on the left side is stuck. We have tried everything we can think of and it will not come out. We have removed the four bolts, and can get it to turn in place about an 1/8 of an inch but we can not get it to come out. Any ideas? Looking at the diagram, it doesn't look like there is anything else holding it in, did I miss something?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Spin it with a pipe wrench....***Disclaimer*** this may damage the 4 holes but it's the only way.and use a hammer to drive it down while twisting with the pipe wrench. Mine were stuck like that and this did the trick. Good luck,

Or, I've heard that tnt will also work

Stick the tires back on and go wheel the piss out of it. I'm sure it'll come apart.

use a torch and a hammer or an air chisel

if you can get it up 1/8" use a screwdriver between the knuckle and platr and hit that with a bfh

good call, I need 2 of those. Mine won't come out on my HP 60. I mean, I've beat the piss out of them with NO care for them at all, and they just won't budge.

On the second one, I used a punch down through the center of the bearing to help drive it out. That worked pretty well. They did not move with a pipe wrench, so I used a large punch and beat them side to side. Then used the punch from the top. Man, they were a PITA!

yeah mine were so stuck last I tried, THAT didn't work. I'm gonna break out the air hammer for coming down through the bearing.
