Of course I've been called a bullhead by more than one person close to me and always want to do it myself. Then again, not everyone has a machine shop at their disposal, in that case I'm with Ron, pull the axel and take it to someone with a press.
I concur TC, never any taper.

As I posted above. I have had good luck with a bottle jack and some chain. Used the chain for the saddle as Denny here describes. My experience with king pins has been on much bigger 18,000 lads axles so this should work for an axle designed for 4,000 lads.
