I've been battling a nearly frozen spindle. I've tried to remove the fulcrum pin at the base of the kingpin without success. I've removed the small pin that locks the fulcrum pin in place, and I can

I just bought an entire new A arm/kingpin assembly, with grease zerks on both sides of the fulcrum pin. A little more costly, but WELL worth the savings in time and frustration. I know, "what doesn't

I've done the screwdriver, grind a chisel, get it hot routines. Sometimes they work. Before you expend too much more energy, do you have play? The only valuable check is to have the kingpin roughly p
