Just got the 580C home to begin work on it. The right kingpin bearings are shot. No problem there. Ordered a kit previously when I noted this issue during one of my "get it running to load" trips. Problem is the left kingpin/spindle is completely frozen. I managed to work it to where I get about 10 degrees of very hard movement using a 10lb sledge hammer and that is it.
What is the best way to get the kingpin out without ruining the spindle and having to buy a new one (kinda pricy). Wonder if it would be cheaper in the long run to find an axle assembly from a junk yard.
Any tips or opinions?
Thanks in advance.
