I just got put out of service in the December 2019 DOT inspection with king pins. Sucks, I'm just a 1-truck (International 4300) company, now without any income and not enough cash for the repair. Your video is tempting me to give it a go in my driveway. THANK YOU so much for taking the time to post this video!!! I got shit faced one night and did a face plant on a beer can in my driveway. I got the same black eye, I feel your pain. My license renewal was due the next week so now my new license picture is proof of what an asshole I am. However, people that ask for my ID get a great, drunken story. Thank you again for you video!!!

I freakin love semis. They are built so damn simple amd so easy to work on. Id work on a semi all day before i work on a car or pickup.

Just did one of these jobs, as usual I watch Mr ezrider and laugh how I was told to do it. I like your style, and sometimes it takes backyard mechanic skill to get it done. Thanks again

[edhorn]

you would make a great truck school teacher, love your videos

Went to vocational school 3 years to be a diesel and truck mechanic. Been doing since 1980 even after i started driving. Please use safety glasses (I've had 2 major eye surgeries on my left eye and was blind in my left eye for 3 weeks ( HORRIBLE feeling) protect those eyes son !!!
I thought i was the only one who used a hone to clean and size the bores 👍👍👍 you did DAMN good !!! Always put the shims between the axle and the top bushing boss (you DID !!) Good job and great video. ALL THE BEST SIR.

This is a great video - I am replacing King Pins on my 1967 MC5A Bus and am having trouble finding a shop who will do the job. I've got mine all apart and am looking for someone to replace the bushings but maybe now I can figure it out myself. Thanks for taking the time to document.

[ericcrosco]

My bearing is out on my drivers side.I was told it's from not jacking the weight off the wheel before greasing.But anyway I'm tackling this job on my only day off on my w9.Thanks for the video!Hope mine come out easy!

[noso]

That was very thorough. Great video, thank you.

[terryharmon]

I just started watching your channel and it is pretty good. Don't let peoples comments upset you. The only person you need to worry about is the one who sleeps next to you hopefully that's your wife. God bless and keep on trucking!

[pnikolay]

Such a professional mechanic. I wish you were close in my area.

[mikeberry]

Hey that looks like a good weekend job glad to watch a video taught me a lot

[kilroyb]

Man oh man. Please take care of yourself. Those stubborn kingpins are what took me out in 2010. Thankyou for the great video. Be safe.

I'm on my 2nd truck in 2 weeks doing kingpins, 1 side came out easy, the other was the king pin from hell. I wish I'd seen this video 2 weeks ago.
