Easy King Pin Bearing Removal was created by weeleejimny
Hello,
I'd just like to share something I came across when replacing my King Pin bearings.
I noticed most people suggested using a screwdriver or chisel and hammer to bash the old ones out but I found that a 19mm impact socket fitted perfectly against the bearing race and was able to pass through the whole in the swivel joint too:
A couple of good hits with a hammer and they were out in no time at all!

I did the same with an imperial socket after messing about for 30mins with a screwdriver. Soooo much easier!
