M Wide front End- How is king pin put in

FarmerHR · Aug 2, 2011

How is the king pin put into the axle spindle on a M wide front end ?
When I look at the bottom of the king pin, I can clearly see a center that was drilled into the king pin. Also, there is a machined area in the axle spindle that the king pin does not cover.
Is it a heavy press fit or is there a pin through the axle spindle that also goes through the king pin ?
I would like to try and replace the king pin because the top is really chewed up.
Would appreciate any experiences any one has had.
Many Thanks !

I dont believe that the 'kingpin' and spindle are serviced separately.you will probably have to replace the complete(kingpin/spindle)assembly.

Correct. The spindle is available only as an assembly.
