Stuck King Pin | GMC Dump Truck

[@zandrabaptiste5481]

Top quality presentation. I watch quite a few "mechanic" videos and this ranks among the best. The story is told entirely without the need for naration or text. The viewers time is not wasted hunting for tools. Each shot seems to be set up nicely. Give your compressor to neasest neighbor and buy a long hose. Thanks for sharing your great skills!

Do you think the king pins had been replaced before. He is A true professional. To have a jacks all set up to hold the springs and axle.👍 This would take me the better part of the day, your video looks like it can be done in 20 minutes 🤣🤣🤣😛😛 Thanks again

[@backho12]

Obviously he’s done this a few times before. Good skills for sure!

[@backho12]

Hahaha! Yep, too much grease!

[@tomcander3669]

The hammer swinger doesn't hit it flush but once or twice!

[@beyondmiddleagedman7240]

A nice easy day at the shop. (That air compressor though. That thing would drive me insane after a few hours!)

Рулевой палец сам вылетает ! чудеса.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Nice job sir! I really like the camera angles on this video, gives some nice shots. Thank you, and all the best!

I put hardwood blocks under the axle when driving king pins. I do not trust jack stands to hold up to the shock and stress of a ten pound sledge. I have seen pins so rusted into the axle eye that we had to cut the thrust bearing and pin. Then drive 3 pieces out separately.the joys of working on farm trucks in rural areas That leaf spring cradle on the floor jack is a good idea.

Nice work

[@lavernperkins5569]

That is what blue wrench is made for heat it up and drive out.

[@TheChitownonlock]

Becareful wow!!!

[@abdulkaderali5657]

Great Job Sir.

[@tylert3709]

Heat it and beat baby lol 😂

[@brownwrench]

There's hydraulic presses for that

[@LmanTrojan1212]

What do you do when the threads for caps get messed up?

[@tittukuriakose9779]

Should alignment be checked?

[@jeffhibshman7874]

That's what happens when you grease those king pins to much.

[@kriscalverley2131]

Weld 1 " cable to striker pin. No shock to the poor bugger holding it.

[@grumpystruckshop3807]

Beat the sides of the axle around the pin with a large ballpein hammer.

[@garybisme2]

Nice job.

[@kornami8678]

Got to get some heat on that spindle folding the kingpin.

[@beasyphone]

Fighting a tapered Mack concrete mixer right now. I've managed to fuse the bearing to the kingpin, cut a slice out, completely screw the grease cap threads and now the kingpin/remaining fused bearing top plate move freely up and down an inch lol. Hitting my 10lb with my 30lb just seems to make it angry

[@beasyphone]

And yes, I have a 4" impa t socket on my pneumatic jack cupping the bottom. Not hitting into free air with the truck on jackstsnds lime an idiot. I like to actually TRANSFER said force as well haha

[@keithhill9138]

Why didn’t you put some heat to it and use some croyel spray first?

[@juanfo7307]

What is croyel spray?

[@johnmarshall4442]

Croyel

[@skurblord3401]

Those outer bearings aren't lubricated? I assume those can't be the actual wheel bearings right? Are they just to help with the brakes or something?

[@stevemazzarella7212]

Did u press it out

[@wicked_garry]

Owner : Just replace king pin Mechanic : Okkkey! Hold my beer! Xd :)

[@dell7054]

How do you know if kingpins r bad?

[@Gar99]

The chassis stand below the king pin is not a solid support for the pin to slide down put a solid pieve of steel underneath anf the pin wil just move

[@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961]
