Re: Replace kingpin & spindle
Anthony, I installed the bushings dry using a bushing driver set and a small ballpeen hammer. The press is not very heavy on them and they drive in easily by hand, just make sure you line up the holes in the bushings with the grease fitting holes in the spindle.

Re: Replace kingpin & spindle
GB has class; I don't. I would have cut the bowl off the spoon as a matter of course and nobody would have cared what I did or not.
Leaving the bowl on the spoon is what legends are made of. |

Re: Replace kingpin & spindle
Aw shucks guys. It's way more fun swiping the Missus' spoon. It's right up there with washing parts in the dishwasher when she's off visiting here sister.
