Dave's "S200KYS" Jimny 'laner Build...

After watching Martin's Kingpin video I was intrigued and started my search... for a socket the right size to work as a drift for the kingpin bearing race...
After a couple of visits to tool suppliers armed with a vernier gauge...
A Teng Tools 24mm impact socket is just the right diameter... and less than a tenner (I got a discount so not sure of the retail price)
Sorted!
Many thanks to Martin...!
All cleaned and ready for the rebuild on Sunday now

They're known as "axle stands" and are used for "safety" Martin
Thanks for the Kingpins Video! I've donated to the forum fund for how helpful it is, especially the socket-trick!
Many thanks!

In reply to Martin's socket trick for taking out the kingpin bearing races...
Here's my little tool tip!
Take one old cheap pair of plumber's pliers -
And attack with an Angle Grinder, just to take the swivel bolt out...
Et Voila! A perfect oil seal pry bar!
You could even put a bolt back in to reconnect the pliers...

I use a Halfords Professional 1" socket. No use for the Imperial stuff other than that!
