Yes, king pin is stuck! I'm getting together with Tim next week.
Thanks everyone.
A car too far.

Re: A car too far.
The link pins are easily replaced, while the king pins require some professional assistance...unless you have a good sized press available. The king pins cannot be hammered in or out of place but must be pressed in. Once refurbished, the car should be good for another fifty years before having to re-do the work...more if you lubricate frequently.

Re: A car too far.
I used to do VW king pins occasionally with a big hammer, not that difficult. I have a large press now, so no more hammering.

Get a grip man, this is a minor problem. Easy there. The boys will sort this in no time.
