King Pin: Service and Repair

Spindle Bushings:

REMOVE
1. Remove the spindle. Refer to Spindle/Service and Repair.
2. On a spindle with bronze bushings, drive the bushing out of the spindle with a tool that is slightly smaller than the spindle bore. If a tool is not available, carefully drive a smaller center punch between the bushing and the spindle, at the split side of the bushing. Collapse the bushing, and remove it from the spindle bore. Remove the second bushing in the same manner.
3. Clean the spindle bores thoroughly.
4. Position a new bushing in the spindle bore, with the open end of the grease groove of the bushing toward the axle. Drive the bronze bushing into the spindle with a driver that pilots in the bushing.
5. Install the remaining bushing in the same manner.
6. ream bronze bushings to 0.025-0.076 mm (0.001-0.003 in) larger than the diameter of a new spindle pin.
7. Clean all the metal shavings from bronze bushings after remaining, and coat the bushings and pin with C1AZ-19590-B (ESA-M1C75B) lubricant or equivalent prior to assembly.

INSTALL
