14. This tool, supplied with the new king pins, was used to drive out the old brass bushings from the axle bore. We sent spindle and the new set of brass bushings to a shop and had them pressed into place.
15-16. Reaming the new bushings to proper size afterwards was also done professionally. This is not difficult work if you've got the proper equipment, but not everyone has these types of tools at their disposal. here we see the bushings being reamed, and the new king pin being set into place to check for proper fit. The proper fit should allow for swivel with around five pounds of torque applied.
