Harvester...You weren't kiddin' when you said the king pins can be difficult to remove. I have the front axle now sitting on jack stands with everything off except the king pins holding the spindles. I printed out the spindle/king pin removal from the tech tips section "atomarc" mentioned, which is very cool by the way. It showed removal and installation for 1/2-1 1/2 tons but not 2-tons, but very simillar. It showed first removing the retainer clip and cap on each end of the king pin. Mine didn't have a retainer clip but it did have the caps. Was able to remove the caps, locking pin and nut. I'm thinking, "OK, this should come out now". No chance! I'll see if a buddy of mine has a press to do it for me. He has a garage servicing garbage trucks.
As for the hub on the drum, I still can't get those puppies off. With the hub on the drum, it creates a cavity full of grease that would be difficult to remove the old grease and replace with new. Can I still remove all the races and seals with the hub still attached? I guess that was my main concern.
Thanks...
