Trying to replace kingpin bushings and pins on a 12,000 lb axle. Not getting them to budge with a hydraulic jack underneath. I constitute a "tiger tool" on ebay merely they are pricey, 1600 to $2000. Non supposed to rut. I am thinking of making a bracket for a hyd jack. Correct at present I am merely lifting the truck. Whatsoever ideas? On this site I suppose I should inquire for expert ideas. I do take the tapered servant pins out. The instructions say to put the new pin in from the pinnacle and then it seems the old ane should get out that way. WItitan2

Air hammer, 10# maul. Spicer axle? If you accept both retainers out and the terminate cap, pound it down through. Look on the vivid side, your axle isn't and so worn out information technology falls out. Oh- endeavour turning the knuckle each way if it notwithstanding isn't going, they get worn funny. Come to remember of it, maybe try rocking information technology too.

Lose the jack , set the pivot on something steel fix on concrete. Employ the weight of the truck to help,with a big sledge hammer. Take used heat on axles several times didn't seem to hurt anything. A jack has some cushion effect when trying to use it as a block Roddo

Not supposed to heat.

I have probably changed 50 sets of kingpins in my 15 years equally a Diesel Mechanic. I take heated many axles cerise cerise, and pounded the living snot out of the pins to get them out and never had any axle fail. A rosebud is your best friend here.

Here's my homemade remover. There is a hole in the top plate (hidden by the aluminum piece in movie) slightly larger than the bore of the kingpin for it to come through. I have since added a footling reinforcement to the peak plate. Works keen. Only problem is I have now done kingpins in every truck I own so I don't need it anymore lol. Guess it'due south time to buy more trucks.

Build one if you lot take the resources. I had to have the height hole cut somewhere else because I do not have that big of bit for our magazine drill but the rest was simple. I merely used it on the truck pictured because that's the terminal ane I've needed it for only after a lot of pounding and swearing, I built that, and information technology popped them right out. I'm non a metallurgist, just correct or incorrect I exercise know that farthermost heat changes the backdrop of any metal, then on any truck with my proper name on the door, I volition use that equally a very concluding resort on things such as axles.

Dearfield Co.

I accept chain pots buried in the floor . I just chain them down and air jack them out. No torches either since I wont use the nylon over brass bushing sets that the nylon wears out and the brass embeddes into trekking pivot

If it has the screw in plugs on the superlative and lesser of the male monarch pin be extremely careful doing annihilation with them since those threads are tender and its costly to screw them up. I can't believe how many we see that are welded into the spindle

That'south what the aluminum plate is for. I put that between the tiptop of the spindle and the top plate of my tool until the initial "pop" to cushion the superlative of the axle. I then take it out and push the kingpin up through the pigsty. I concord on the nylon bushings, they are junk. I take stared using the Kaiser no ream spiral bushings and fourth dimension will tell how they are but the nylon was just lasting me a couple years.

It should exist obvious how much pressure level a 20 jack will apply but I wonder how much the threaded rod style would practise?
