OK, I could not see the threads until I clicked on the pic and then zoomed in.

Looks like there's enough space between the top end of the axle and the knuckle for a punch to help walk the bearing out, This is completely different than the later kings pin set-ups that I've worked on.

Now, with the bearing removed, I envision that you could drop the knuckle down to clear the lower end of the king pin and slip it completely off. Interesting approach.

Thanx for the clarification, Dave.

When it comes to lubrication of king pins, regardless of the style, I have seen too many cases where an owner was penny-wise but pound-foolish.
