Steering Knucke bearings

Hi All-

Are there removeable races for the bearings in the steering knuckles (kingpins) on a '73 F250 highboy 4WD? I am trying to order some parts, but I don't have the knuckle with me at work and I cannot remember seeing any races in there??

Thanks a ton,
Abrams

If it's the original closed knuckle axle it does.

Do I need to press those out and press new ones in, or can I tap 'em with a brass drift?

Thanks,
Abrams

Thanks for the help. There was so much crap on the knuckles that I couldn't see where the races were. I put the new races and bearings in, reattached the knuckle and the steering is nice and tight again.
