    So it probably wasnt the best idea to use a model A kingpin in my axle dropping jib but i had one so I did and now its stuck. any ideas on getting it out? I tried heat and beat the hell out of it but all i managed to do is break an impact socket.

    Use your axle as a wall hanger, and Buy one from an Alliance member here on the board. There is alot to heating and dropping an axle i would not try it myself. Good Luck

    Hydraulic press should do it. Oil it up first.

    dropping the axle wasnt a problem but i should have used a solid king pin. I'm gonna try to cut the king pin out with a sawzall so i can get the axle in the shop press. i guess i bent the king pin while i was dropping it.
