My friend and I are having great difficulty lubing our king pins in my case the pins are new. I tried to lube them but the grease would not go in....I changed the nipples which was easy to my surprise..... I eventually got some grease in but it was hit and miss... I use the best grip gun etc.... the bottom bearing spins good.... I also had the front end jacked off the ground ..I noticed when I had the nipple off it seem to just butt up to the pin itself the grease seems to have no where to go....
any thoughts on this is ... I call it all part of owning a old truck...
