That was very good. I have done that on medium duty trucks but I have never done my semi as of yet. You forgot to show us how much slack was in the old pin. It must have been pretty loose as easy as the pin slid out. I have an actual puller that I use . I'm not a fan for doing a lot of heavy hammering on components. Light tapping yes.

Great videos, you're obviously great at what you do and have been around the block a couple times. I work with heavy equipment regularly but pretty much never touch semi rigs, interesting to see how easy these kingpins come out vs some of the crap I've had to rig up over the years. We got desperate at one point and had to grab a 30 ton harbor freight bottle jack because our 20 ton in the service truck wouldn't push out a kingpin, when that sucker finally let loose I needed to change my pants.

If you put a jack underneath the spindle after you remove the king pin you can slide out the top shims so the spindle can slide off easier. Aslo do you check the eyes for out of roundness if they are not snug then it would need to be bored and sleeved

"Most of the time they'll just pop out." Yeah, IF its a brand new truck like that one, or IF the last mechanic used antisieze. OTHERWISE, you're lookin at some serious aggravation, the probable use of a torch with a heating tip, and possibly several hours of hard labor. I once spent a day and a half of "heatin' & beatin' " on an old Volvo trying to extract a kingpin that had been protruding 3/4" out the bottom of the spindle, due to lack of grease. Edit: Also, you really should remove the hub and brake assemblies. Yes its a bit mor work, but it also makes handling the removal and installation of the spindle safer and easier without all that extra weight on it. And, antisieze is GOD.

Actually with an internal bump stop they would drop down to the stop and that's that, if the bag were to blow. If the air bag is properly sized the bag gives a much smoother ride than steel spring. Also it responds to the deviation in the road much faster. That's why you see factory now bagging all the higher end trucks.

There's a channel called Curious Droid that does space and space tech and a few years ago he held sort of a vote on the single most important invention of the 20th century and a whole messload of people were all up on the CMOS transistor circuit... which is technically just a solid state copy of a prior valve tube but doesn't need all the accoutraments. Yes, the CMOS is amazing... but apparently everybody forgot about an immigrant engineer named Zerk who invented a greaser port. One thread, one hole, one ball, one spring... almost a 92% reduction in wear on equipment from failures of threaded cups, automatic greaser systems and debris entering those systems by sloppy dirty handling. Nobody steals the grease out of your zerks like they would with cups. Nobody breaks long brass lines off and sprays all the grease down the side of the boiler. Everybody knows to give the gun a little squeeze and wipe the dirty ball off the end. Greatest invention since the steam engine and vaccination. Strangely nobody really voted for antibiotics and I would happily use a spatula to keep my babbits wet if I had to choose between them and a Zerk. CMOS my arse.
