Something weird is going on there. The cotter pin that holds the king pin goes in from the front and the nut at the back. The nut is also the stop that prevents the steering going too far. I hope you post pictures of that after you get it out. I suspect the cotter pin has been put in backwards.
Many people make the mistake of driving the cotter pin in too hard and ruin the axle by stretching the eye.
