Title: Samurai king pin bearing races
Post by: Idahohay on April 18, 2008, 08:03:14 PM

I found my kingpin bearings are bad but havent found any info on removing the races.  I'm aware that the wheel bearing races are best seated with a press but what about the kingpin races?

With a punch, go thru one race and hit the back side edge of the other.  Tap it out.  Set new race in place, and with a deadblow, whack the new ones in until fully seated.  Make sure the knuckle is clean before you put the race in.

Thanks, thats what I was leaning towards but it's always good to hear it from someone who knows.
