Tip for removing king pins

Here's a tip for removing king pins without a press. All you need is a grinder. You have to remove the brake drum first. Grind the head edges so there is no lip. Now beat the head with a BFH it should go flush with the spindle. Spray some lubricant(ex. WD-40) in the locking pin hole. Flip the axle over beat it with a BFH and punch (drift). The king pin should now come out. Volia you have just now removed a king pin. Now repeat for the other side.

I would add that if you have penetrant, Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster, that would work even better than WD-40.
