AFAIK, the only O-rings on the king pins are used to seal either end of the spring-loaded tubular dust cover. I think cork washers are still used on the lower trunnion (but I haven't bought a set in years).

Any suitably-sized O-ring should work; just measure the diameter of the king pin and buy an O-ring; nitrile are best for oily environments. They might be differently sized.

Hi Todd,
The later and currently available kits just use a standard sized O ring.
A couple of 6" sections of 3/8" threaded rod can be used to pull the
spring plate up.
