NO REAM INSTALLATION for KING PIN STEERING KNUCKLE REPAIRS
REMOVAL
• Use established procedures for teardown.
STEERING KNUCKLE AND AXLE PREPARATION
• Clean spindle and axle eyes and wipe dry.
• Remove any burrs from spindle bores and axle eyes using brake hone or similar device.
INSTALLING BUSHING LIP SEALS
•Handle with care, lip seals are easily damaged.
• Using a bushing driver or similar device, drive the seals into the bore leaving the seal flush with the axle side of each spindle.
• Be sure to position the seal so the lip is pointing towards the axle eye.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING PRESIZED BRONZ BUSHINGS
• Using a Kaiser Plus bushing driver or similar device,
drive lower bushing into place.
• Check for proper fit using the enclosed king pin.
• If king pin slips through lower bushing easily then, use bushing driver to install upper bushing.
• Install spindle in normal manner.
IF KING PIN DOES NOT SLIP EASILY
INTO LOWER BUSHING
• Do not force the pin into place.
• Place spindle with lower bushing only onto axle.
• Put shims in place.
• Put bearing in place.
• Put king pin in place
• Use short end of Kaiser driver to drive the upper bushing into place.
• Lock king pin into place with lock pin as normal.
  BEARING INSTALLATION
• Prepack bearings with grease.
• For proper bearing orientation please refer to figure # 1
• Place needed shims under upper spindle bore.
• Position king pin through upper spindle bore and
through needed shims, be sure TOP of pin is parallel to
axle for proper lock flat alignment.
• Place spindle, shims and pin onto axle, allow pin to
drop into axle bore about 2".
• Tap bearing into place, a properly fit bearing will require
a slight tap fit without damaging the bearing case.
• If bearing is too tight or too loose, adjust the number of
shims being used.
COMPLETE PIN INSTALLATION
• Once the bearing fit is correct, allow pin to slip into
lower bushing.
• At this time you will either install upper bushing over
the pin or install the pin through the upper bushing as
described above.
• Position lock pin flats on pin so they line up with lock
holes.
• Pound lock pins into place, lock pins with threads
apply 25-30 ft. lbs of torque.
END PLATE OR END PLUG
INSTALLATION
• Install end plates or end plugs, using the proper seal
under plates.
• Install grease fitting into end plate or end plug.
GREASING
• Apply grease until it can be seen between axle and
spindle.
CHECK INSTALLATION
• Once greased the spindle should turn easily from side
to side.
• There should be very little up and down movement.
• If unit seems loose or too tight we recommend calling
our tech line for assistance.
