Numero uno, how are you supporting the king pin in the press. If by chance
you are putting
a sizeable shaft thru the top trunnion, the kingpin will not push , pull or
move because it has
a cutout that forms arounnd the shaft or bolt that is in that hole. If you
had a dissassembled king pin to look at this would be obvious, but if not,
not obvious.
Ask me how I know that. Second thought, don't.

I am wanting to disassemble, clean & probably rebuild some MGB kingpins to
install in a MGA.
I have loosened the large nut at the top of the kingpin but the kingpin is
resisting all efforts to part company with the upper trunion (using my
hydraulic press). Advice?
