I started the left kingpin removal yesturday (57 1T) and am going to have to drill out lockpin. I searched the kingpin posts and read alot to get a idea of what I was in for. Lets say it sounds fairly easy reading the posts.(Not)Can I just replace 1, the one on right does not have play? The space between lower axel and spindel is large enough for spacers, why are there not any as this may have prevented the repair now? Can new kingpins go in without reaming? Are new lockpins easy to find?
