Re: Front suspension work when engine is removed

Turns out they came out pretty easily with a hammer and a chisel. A few whacks and the bushings popped out AFTER I cut inner rubber off.


Another question. I replaced the king pin and bushings with the king pin kit from Max Merritt. The replacement grease retaining plugs only have one with a grease fitting, the other being solid. Has this been okay for people, or are people tapping a hole in the solid one and installing another grease fitting to be like the original? (maybe an 90deg angle one like the original?)

Also, I had a hell of time getting the king pin locking pin in place. It would go halfway or so and then hammering would just deform the pin. The King pin is oriented correctly so there is a nice hole for the locking pin. i ended up using the old pin instead and that worked much better.

thanks
