@@ConTheDon187 No shit. Why don't they show a video where the pin is just alot more than stubborn. And I haven't seen a tiger tool for these yet. Could sure one.
@@bmdbigfeet1031 I can tell you my boss destroyed one of these on a kingpin that was seized to the bushings in the knuckle, it's why I'm hesitant on buying one right now, if it fails in the middle of a job its gonna be very problematic.
@@ConTheDon187 I looked up the tiger tool and it exists. I ended up making my own pin press and it worked but not without any help from a torch. I made the bottom narrow but wide enough for the pin to push through while I had a 10 ton porta power on top. Found a piece of grader cutting edge for the top plate clamp, used 1in ready rod through the top clamp to the bottom and proceeded to pour the juice to it. The portapower was maxed out then I went for the good ole gas axe. Had to climb back into my skin when it finally popped. Was all down hill from there.
That’s what I was thinking, I’ve done kingpins on MCI buses and dang those Lock pins are a pain in the butt I basically have to melt them with a torch.
@@davidortega7957 oh, ive done these CORRECTLY, HUNDREDS of times before... the RIGHT way to do it is to press in new bushings with tooling and HONE them to fit ( also with special king pin tooling ) .... NOT screw in a cheap ass looking piece of SOFT metal! this looks like stuff you do to a truck going to *auction* !! i bet it doesn't get HALF of the life of the original! oh yeah ... and NEVER seen kingpins come out this easy before! 0:50 🙄 yet again ...their is a pin pressing tool to remove stubborn pins for that $$$$ big trucks = big money
Hundreds of times. You sure you are doing it right. I have used these and never had no problem with them. If you done it hundreds of time then you must work in a alignment shop and don’t own a truck
I wish all repair demos on TH-cam were this succinct
actual is to torch to slight or bright cherry red then use largest special tool sledge hammer, and to finish with rattle can paint.
At 0:57 notice the old king pin lands standing on concrete, let’s see you do that again!
That was a very thorough video.
Very professional video Sir.
You're just professional... thanks a lot
For how long does it take to remove and fit a kingpin
Are these better or worse than than the 1's with yellow plastic on inside of bushing . How often should kingpins be greased?
Excellent excellent excellent
Where Can I purchase the King Pin Bushing and Seal Tool
Thank you
That wasn’t a brass or dead blow hammer
What kind of sorcery did you use to get that damn bushing in? I've been at it for hours for just one... still can't get it started...
there is a special stepped driver
I love the kaiser kits and I've never had a problem getting the spiral bushing started
Just turn and press at a angle honestly just like he said it'll shrink together so it'll roll right in
Never fanny about like this lol ever!
Yeah I think ive had them come apart that easy.. umm never..
haha same. I'm gonna need a tiger king pin removal tool pretty soon here.

@@bmdbigfeet1031 yeah for the cost of this tool I think I'm just gonna make a jig for my 20ton pneumatic jack and give it a go
Ten thousandth's? This guy wants to sell king pins.
Don't heat axle. This tool never touched a bus.

Is this the training video you use when you try to recruit women into the field?? No need to use any force on a king pin they just FALL out ladies.
Yeah bullshit 😂

It’s says use brass or dead blow proceeds to show the guy using a normal hammer lol
You must need a eye exam its clearly brass.
