The king pins where fine but the mistake i made was not buying the correct seal and it now leaks like a sieve.
I have the correct seals ordered and on their way (i hope) from the Big Jimny store.

I can get them at work (Marine gearbox manufacturing) with wholesale discount for approx.10£ from SKF so the Bigjimny deal of 24£ for two KOYO bearings and seal is very good.
SKF and others does suffer from chinese copies alot so beware of that on ebay.

They never rotate more than 90° and failer is typically due too corrosion rather than wear. Next time I do mine I'm going to chuck a pair of cheap bearings in one side for a comparison.

Probably true, allthough the cost isnt so high unless they are very frequent.. If we pull atleast the lower one and regrease it once a year (spring time?), or after some deep water/mud offroading, we would probably extend lifespan alot.
