Freightrain Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 My tapered pins came out with a hammer. Took less effort then the pins in my '70 F100!!! (straight pins=heat an beat) Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

smorse54 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Rob, we have an OTC kingpin press.On Monday I will take some pics and measurements. This uses a Portapower- type hand pump and dual rams. Looks like the same as a small OTC press .

Thanks,SteveThanks Steve, I've thought long and hard about purchasing one of the OTC brand presses but just don't use it enough to justify the cost. I have adequate hydraulic force available so will make the adapters and fittings for my own. Photos and dimensions will be a great help!Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

(straight pins=heat an beat)The medium duty trucks with straight pins are a real bitch to get out. I made a plate with chains that attached to a 20 ton bottle jack to press them out years ago. Really don't like to heat suspension parts other than warm to loosen things due to structural integrity of the parts.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
