Take a 7/8 lug nut and zip cut off flare part. Drop it in the top of kingpin and put a socket on lugnut with a 3/4 drive breaker bar! Heat it with a torch or one of those little torch bottles but get the yellow bottle MAPP gas one it's hotter than propane.
Other method I did was welded a big, like 1 1/2" socket to the top of kingpin and again with 3/4 drive breaker bar and cheater pipe cracked it loose. Did it while the weld still had lots of heat.

Anyone that sells Spicer stuff should be able to get them. Randy's Ring & Pinion has them and they get them out right a way.

Big Allen Wrench,If you lived near me Id run it over.Actually I had the torch heating up the base,while i was on the end of a six foot extention pipe coming off that allen. 2 am with the snow coming down,the other side was much easier,looking back i probably did not have to replace the easy side.

ok what happend about that 2 choices on kingpin sizes?

well turns out both of those options were for 2wd trucks, im assuming one more hd than the other. i ordered my kits through bronco graveyard and they should be in tomorrow. it was the only place that i found the whole kits and it was only like 65 bucks per side i think. anyways ill post again when shes all back together again.

There's at least half a dozen vendors that sell the complete kit, most all of them are around the $70 range.
