king pin kits

[DaveRobson]

i have lots of play in my king pins.

need to sort it sooon, whats the best way of going about this?

dunno where to get parts from, can i get a full kit, or can i just change the pin?

it's the bearings you need to change and the code is KOYO NTN 4T30302 and you need 4 to do both sides.

I think these are the right ones http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/advanc ... ords=30302

I would ask henry (the hoover) as what he doesn't know about sjs you don't need anyway.

Never had to do Kingpin bearings...

Did a hub bearing for my mate tho


Good luck with them!

Thats actually a pretty good price!!!

It's an easy job to do, wheel off, caliper off, undo the 4 bolts behind the hub to remove the stub axle and hub all in one go, undo all the bolts around the knuckle seal and carefully peel back and move out of the way, undo kingpins on the top and bottom of the knuckles, remove king pins; they can be a bit stubborn but dont be tepted to wedge a screw driver in there to remove them just gently tap them around with a hammer. keep note of how many shims are on each one!!!! remove knuckle, tap out bearing races, clean, tap in new races with a block of wood and hammer ensuring they are correctly seated.

in true haynes fashion assembly is the reverse

oh and this might help

Another good point of reference... i believe they are extremely similar if not the same.

Scottie, where did this page come from? Looks like part of an old manual.
