old,

I'm undoubtedly much older than you, but here's what I've seen. I worked in a garage during high school back in the 50s and early 60s. We replaced quite a few kingpins. One of the real mechanics (I was just a kid) had a little hydraulic cylinder on a flexible hose that led back to the pump mechanism. We always called it a "porta-power".

We would place the cylinder under the bottom of the kingpin, chain it to the steering knuckle, and pump it up, With a little bit of heat and a little bit of vibration, the kingpins always popped out.

Good luck with your project. They can be nearly impossible to get out.
