What is it about the kingpins that make them so dificult to rebuild? And
thus so expensive? Isn't the challenge simply the reaming of the bushings,
something that a machinist could do in about five minutes?
And on that subject, why is the reaming bit offered in the Moss catalog so
expensive? I may need to do some maintenance on my steering gear in the
next year or so, and I was wondering if there is a way to use a combination
of other drill bits or router bits to accomplish the same result.
Or is the kingpin concept so complex and daunting that I am deluding myself?
I know that the shop manual recommends having my approved BMC mechanic do
such work, but haven't they all fossilized by now?
