ggdad1951 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 taking apart the front axle prior to blasting, anything I should do/not do before I rip it apart? How do the king pin plugs come out/off the ends? Are they throw away? Where can I find "new" ones? thanks again! Quote

Maybe a P15-D24 member, Roberts Motor Parts, Andy Bernbaum, Vintagepowerwagons.com, Ebay or other sources forthcoming from other Mopar fans here. Hank Edited June 23, 2010 by HanksB3B Quote

Hank yah, I had no intention of throwing away! Bigger question is does it pay to tear that down? Seems fine, but since everything else is in pieces it seem a shame not to do that since it is all off and just sitting there! How do the plugs come out? Quote
Merle Coggins Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Napa has king pin kits that come with the pin, bushings, new welsh plugs for the top and bottom, and a new pinch bolt with lock. Just watch out for serial # breaks and axle size on their listings. Merle Quote
Merle Coggins Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 How do the plugs come out? Chisel and hamer. Or drill a hole in the center and pry out the top one. The bottom one will come out with the pin when you drive it out. Merle Quote
