the pin's location is centered on the axle boss... it will drive out, front to rear... it can be difficult to locate
if looking at the backside of the axle because the head of the pin fills the hole in the axle... look on the
front of the axle and you should find it.... probably filled with grease...
drive out the pin, front to rear.... a center punch works fine..
drive the kingpin out, top to bottom... I used a .625 rod to get it started, the an air chisel to complete
don't worry about the dust caps, new ones are supplied with the kingpins...
should take all of about 5 minutes to remove
