Re: stuck king pins
What type of "heat" did you use? I have yet to see king pins that an acetylene torch would not heat up enough to remove...

Re: stuck king pins
There was a thread a while back that discussed various "penetrating oils." It appears that the best is a half and half mixture of acetone and automatic transmission fluid. I tried it with varying success on rusted in front perch bolts. I had the best results mixing the oil with heat. (Do it outdoors 'cause you'll get some smoke and flames.)

Re: stuck king pins
The acetone evaporates very rapidly,
so you better keep adding acetone quite often. .

When I did my 39P/U no movement with pb blaster or nockout. Palmer spring here in Portland pressed out the king pins and perchbolts. The guy who pressed them out said on my axle they used about 20 tons before the king pins moved and near 80 ton before those perchbolts moved. LOL, Scott. |
