king pin replacement

[edvanland]

How do you change kingpins and tie rods on 1973 MCI 7. do you need special pullers? Replacing all bushings so basically rebuilding the suspension. Have already replaced most air bags. have all new parts and the tie rod and ends are the new updated ones

I have seen the bus grease monkey videos on doing this kind of work and it doesn't look trivial.

Suggest you watch some videos on his YouTube channel.

Ed it takes special tool the bushings need to be fitted to the king pins ,take  it to a truck shop they are up on replacing king pins and bushings in straight front axles ,you are going to get into much heavy work, I don't like doing one lol I drive to Kaiser Wheel and Alignment in Eugene Or and let them do mine ,some times the axle has to be bent for a good alignment and that requires some expertise
