The king pins are good. I actually only have one link pin thats loose...the other three tightened up and seem fine but I will change them anyway.
I'm thinking I should be able to press the bushing out with the vise?
hey gerry, i'm with hans on this one. the link pin bushings should press out pretty easily.
when i built my spindles i used a socket on one side for a drift to press the bushing out, a big socket on the other side so the bushing has somewhere to go, and a nice big bench vice to press it out. same procedure for pressing in aswell. a little lube helps too!!!
iirc, there are holes in the bushing that need to be lined up with the grease zerks on the carrier so the whole assembly can be greased properly.
good luck.
