the same type of king pin I have replaced about two months ago. It took me 3 days to change all 4 of them on an Astra HD 8, 8x4 truck. But they wouldn't come out nowhere near that easy. Taking them out i had to use a 50 tone press, a 15 kg hammer and on one of them also the gas torch to crack the rust.
The worst part doe in replaicing them is the locking bolts which can make you a really really hard time to take out.

The only king pins that you can take out with a hummer in Europe might be the cone ones.

Every time I watch your videos it seams that everything works perfectly smooth and all of the parts come out easy.

Great content! Keep them coming!

Great video to stumble on. I really enjoyed it. With the cotter pins, if you clamp on them with the diagonal cutters and use a pivot point like a wrench or a bolt to roll the pliers on. The nut usually works fine. Just dont smoke the exposed threads. It pulls them out like nothing almost every time. Those tie rod covers are awesome to beat on just ordered some. Thanks again!

Love your content but that 3/4 needs replacing and it much slower than a 1in for taking the lugs loose

Where are you located city and state??

Hola, una pregunta: porque se corta una punta de eje?

[Vertikala-pcig]

Why do extra work when you can just remove tire and change king pin

[rtz]

Surprised you don't use an air powered nut runner(ratchet) to run down those grease plate bolts.

Also look into larger size cotter pins. Can hammer in the big end for a snug fit and the pin doesn't wiggle around. I always use the largest size that will fit.

Great video! How long on average does a air gun last you?

[ЯрославШевченко-хй]

Thats only magik, that the kingpin was beating so easy.
this usually requires the use of a thirty ton press

Muy buen trabajo esta perfecto pero deberías de dejar las bocinas más ajustadas las mentiste con la mano para que el trabajo dure más tiempo y el cliente más satisfecho y disculpe la observación

[fredsalter]

Kinda funny, but throughout all of this burly work, the split-pin gave him the most frustration....

[TolaTrucking]

I'm sure he does it on purpose running the gun without a wrench from behind at first...maybe to shock the bolts?

[mikeschumann]

If that where me doin this job I'd be there for 2 days fightin with that damn cotter pin.
