You dont need a press,or even a rosebud.You need a BFH and some sort of big punch,preferably made out of brass and a brave helper.You take the brass,put a handle on it of some sort,Snap On makes a handle for a punch that a big piece of brass will fit in.Craftsman probably does too or you can make one,or even a big pair of Vise Grips.Then you put the brass on top,hit it with the big hammer as hard as possible.You might want to remove any brake lines or fittings a wild hit would break.The last resort is the rosebud.That is the way big truck king pins are,stuck.If you use lots of penetrating oil and a piece of brass and hit it hard,it will come out.I used to do it every day.Also before you heat it up real hot you can cut the bearing out if you are good with a torch(dont nick the spindle or axle)then cut the king pin off under the bearing,knock that bottom piece out(it usually falls out)jack spindle up,cut betweem spindle and axle on top,pull spindle off out of the way,then hit piece thats left in the axle using brass drift so you dont brad the end of it.If you dont have a piece of brass leave as much above the axle as you can,remove spindle,beat with big sledge hammer until piece in axle moves,cut braded piece off of king pin,use big punch and knock out rest of pin.They usually dont take all of that before they come out,sometimes a jack under the pin will push the pin up and you can drench it in penetrating oil then knock it right out without even getting mean with it.Of course you would have the tire and wheel off to do all of this.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
