So I am trying to break down the king pin assembly and right off the bat I am have a problem getting the "retainer" off of both ends of each pin. They dont have C clips holding them in place, rather, they are pinged in, like a punch was used to pinch down the spindle edge to hold it in place. I have spent about an hour or so, on getting one out, 3 to go. Is there any secret to getting these things out? Its a terrible start to a task that looks to be a lot of fun, haha
