Peterbilt King Pins | Semi Truck

[@pauln4489]

That is what I call clean, professional work. Thank you for a great video.

[@jamesstafford9067]

I've been a diesel mechanic for 34 years......did a lot of king pins and they have NEVER come out that easy.

[@RepairsforOats]

I've had them fall out before lol. Not common but it's happened to me lol

[@mikemuzzell5167]

Up here in the salt belt of Canada. Sometimes suicidal thoughts go through my head when fighting these sobs. All jokes of course. It looked easy because the guys done many. Definitely felt like .001-.005”. Lol. I’ve seen me do it. 😜 protorq!?

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

I’ve done some that would have never come out with any hammer. Luckily I’ve got a 20 ton king pin press that’ll get em.

[@christoph1039]

Who’s ever been working on this thing has obviously been using anti-seize. Even the cotter pins on the drag link a tie rod end came out beautifully

[@christopheryoung826]

Two weeks ago I did a set. Was beating the wedge bolts out on passager side and the king pin fell out on the drivers side. Ive had decent luck with king pins coming out. Mostly due to being worn and having my customers soak em for a week in pb or liquid wrench.

[@theodorejohnkaczynski9442]

Thanks for the vise grip truck on them brake springs. Don't know why i never thought of that

[@ourv9603]

I worked on a fleet of Freightliner COE. They replaced the fleet THEN, we started getting premature kingpin fail. We were replacing WAY too many kingpins. Soon, the replacemnts too were failing. Thr boss talked to engineers, the factory you name it. Finally the boss had us change out lube technique. We thought he was crazy, but, we did as we were told. 1- with the tires on the ground, lube the top zerks. 2 jack up the front axle & lube the bottom zerks. It worked! The kingpins began to go the distance w/o fail. The trick was to take the weight off the bottom of the pins so grease could get in. WHO'DA THOUGHT? !

[@mikemuzzell5167]

Someone missed that in trade school!?

[@firstname6208]

I was told the lock pins go in from opposing directions. Just sayin'. The job these guys did looked fine otherwise.

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

@@firstname6208 I’ve seen both nuts on the same side a few times before. It depends on the axle.

[@firstname6208]

Really it depends on who showed up to work the day that axel went down the line. When you hit the brakes the spindle tries to rotate, for that reason The nut should be in front on top and behind on the bottom.

[@michaelmccaffrey2731]

I was taught to grease with the same method back in the eighties. Also when the front end is up a guy can check wheel bearing play, king pin play, check tires and easily turn steering to get access to other grease fittings

[@WizzRacing]

Have to love them king pins when they work with you.. But if they are stuck. You feel like a jack hammer is not enough...

[@catsbyondrepair]

And curse em for 6 days straight

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

That’s why I have a 20 ton king pin press. The sound they make when a stuck one first breaks loose can make a guy jump for sure.

[@damonried1720]

Master Craftsman at work. Outstanding.

[@pedromontoya2865]

If you leave the snap ring in and back the lock nut off it will pull the hub off and avoid having to force it off the spindle.

[@jeffsnider3588]

I like the fast motion mechanic work - it tells the story efficiently. 😄

[@leorobinson5737]

I'm not fixing anything but I watched anyway, Nice job.

[@andrewebel233]

I didn't see anything regarding shimming the thrust bearings, for me that is the most difficult part.

[@firstname6208]

After new bushings installed and honed to fit, hang the bare spindle on the axel, slide the prepacked thrust bearing in place. Install the kingpin from the bottom up, thru the bearing and to the top of the axel, lift the spindle with your knee or small bottle jack, slide as many shims in as possible, mixing and matching to remove as much play as possible. Center the shims and using a no mar hammer gently tap the kingpin into place and install locks.

[@floydsabin6737]

40 yrs as a truck mechanic and all of you other Mechanic's in comments nobody has said a word about the drive tire on the street axle,as far as the king pins have had some easy and some real pains to get out, the one he's doing has considerable wear I have done some that I have had to replace both spindles because the pins were thru the bushing and worn into the spindle

[@Diezeling]

Do you ever get stuck tapered pins that go through king pin and have to drill or torch off ? I wanna cry 😢 when that happens , how do you get this off ? Btw good work you do !!

[@mikemuzzell5167]

Every fawking time. 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🍻

[@markwaschke1635]

I always drill, never heat, i had a dayshift guy that started doing it with heat and it took me 2 hours and a bunch of dill bits to get them out

[@dannymacpherson7155]

Always fun to watch, thanks

[@NkRemTeh]

3:55 вроде как палец загнул наконечника, видно что гайку загнуло.

[@usmcraid5332]

I would prefer to hit on the side of the hub to get tie rod ends out instead of hitting from the top only… this often bends the threaded pin

[@СергейПопов-ы6ц1щ]

Нормальная работа, за исключением некоторых нюансов. Но шина на передней оси - жесть. Если это не карьерный самосвал...

[@rmatt24]

What about the bushings or sleeves around the kingpin??

[@peteharrison9816]

I use to do them all day long almost 38 years of driving

[@StickFigure9642]

where did the inner hub bearing go tho... :0 10:16

[@dylanenochs7267]

What size and thread nut is that you use to beat on the tie rods?

[@jeantrinidad6258]

7/8

[@charlesb4267]

If you want to get fancier you can buy the correct size of Tiger Tool nut which looks slightly like a tall acorn nut and designed to be hammered on the one end then obviously, of course one pays the price for the nice tool, always a catch !

[@jeantrinidad6258]

I took 2 deep nuts, 2" bolt and lock tight and threaded them completely down. The head of the bolt is to strike

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

He just as well have left the nut off considering he messed up the tie rod anyway.

[@charlesb4267]

@@YourMom-ro1ig With king pins that worn, that means its highly likely other steering components are worn and although not explained, that's a new tie rod assembly installed and no doubt for good reason. So not sure where the blame for "messed up" comes in, its more whoever owned/serviced that truck was severely lacking in checking out the steering/suspension system as that slop in the king pins should have been caught WAY before this point. How that ever passed a yearly inspection is beyond me and probably means the truck was not being inspected is my guess or passed by some scammer of a business as those places do indeed exist.

[@brentsmith5647]

Brilliant video thank you

[@nicholasallen7305]

Nice video thank you

[@raduberaru9369]

I wish that they would come out that easy on some european trucks .... MAN , SCANIA , IVECO , ASTRA they all have straight king pins .

[@alexbond9773]

Видно что втулки изношены,шприцевать надо было ,вот к чему приводит Работа на сухую.

[@philipaldrick5363]

I'm glad I didn't get Too involved with trucks.

[@marksaunders8295]

Ok so the pin is worn but the bushings were still good enough to just install a new pin, I get it do the easy part and leave out the hard part, easy money!!

[@jettelo]

Best fukn video STRAIGHT TO THE WORK no BS TALKING ABOUT THIS AND THAT The best How to ever

[@danman9017]

you did not show replacing bushing and riming the bushing

[@danafortier8758]

Yes, wonder if it got done?

[@nickwhite6717]

Juding by how smooth it in when knocking the pins in, i dare say they got done and well too. Its a bit of an art to get them.bang on

[@billarroo1]

One of the main reasons for "death wobble" (uncontrollable shaking of the front end usually on the freeway). Is loose kingpins. or other loose joints.

[@bobbysingh27]

Can you pls make sure you did put the inside bearing pls?

[@timerickson7056]

I've been a truck mechanic for decades and have never seen kingpins worn out that bad smh you must not have much for there or drivers that know when their truck is wondering. Htc is that missed? All off road? I don't see how the axle bore wasn't egg shaped

[@christopheryoung826]

Reamless kits. The spiral bushings sometimes crack and bascially turn to dust. Had it happen recently. He needs a spindle/Kunkle whatever you call it.

[@tommymack6286]

Great video. Looks pretty easy until you gotta force that kingpin out...

[@rclarke2456]

So there's no bearings on the back or a seal?

[@andrewebel233]

I saw him remove the bearing and the seal

[@dexter9024]

On the city buses we have to drill thr wedges out most of the time, no room to swing a sledge. Pain in the butt, paid by the hour.

[@redmesa2975]

I spent 15 years working on Gillig buses. After beating the crap out of those wedges, I usually had to drill them out as well. I know the struggle lol

[@bobbytrill420]

That's crazy that the front drum is pressed in the wheel

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

It’s not. It’s still bolted between the wheel and hub. He just skipped pulling the wheel and drum and left them bolted together.

[@briananderson1781]

What are you're thoughts of red grease vrs. the the black - graphite grease.

[@ShainAndrews]

Color doesn't matter. The correct composition for the application is what matters. Frankly that doesn't mater as much as actually greasing the equipment.

[@apnews2u]

Excellent work, lovely.

Depends on the condition of whatever you're working on, could be a few hours, could be all day

[@troyharness7863]

I’ve seen one truck the king pin was froze in the axle nothing would break it loose heat press or anything the guy ended up replacing the whole axle now that was a bad day

[@truckomize9326]

I went to get an alignment done on my w900 other day. End up changing out spindles , kingpins , brakes and hubs. It was 2 guys working on it took em 4 hours

where's the oil seal???

[@charlesb4267]

The old seal you can see stayed on the spindle and I imagine for the sake of not setting up the camera so many times items like pressing in the new king pin bushings and installing the inner bearing and seal were omitted. Had it been an exact how to video it would be a long few part video and at normal speed with instructions. Don't worry, he didn't forget installing a new seal !
