Thanks for the offer, Dave, but the job is already done. Follow along. This is meant as a "how to," for those who may want to know more about king-pin replacement. I'm going to start way at the beginning, though, because I want to show those that have never done this before what you need to do "on the way," such as wheel bearing packing.
I'm going to assume that everyone knows how to remove their wheel.

1. Remove the grease cap. There may be a special tool to do this, but I just wedge a small screw driver in and twist. Wrapping a channel locks around it and twisting back and forth will work as well, but you need to be areful not to crush it.
2. Remove the cotter pin and nut.
