I agree that the tech tip was VERY helpful.
However, the following did not work for me.
I let the weight of the truck help push the old kingpins out. So far, it has worked every time
We got one out with a 12 ton press. It sounded like a shotgun when it busted loose. I couldn't get the second one and took it to a guy with a bigger press. It took 15 tons of pressure to pop it loose.
As a side note, I'm pretty sure that I was the first to replace them, they were worn extreemly bad.
