You’ll have to drive out that loose part from the baseplate. It’s the same idea as removing a regular kingpin. You can watch on YT how to remove a kingpin then apply that with this style. Thread the bolt into the nut like you do in the vid, make sure it’s all the way in. Then you gotta hammer that nut out using that bolt as what you hit. After you take it out you could try just putting it back in at a different clock position. Thread the bolt in the other side and installation is just reverse, tap it lightly until it’s started in the hole. I put a small piece of wire around the nut that goes in the base and reinstalled it. I watched a vid of it I wish I could find it. [VIDEO] Watch that for how to remove that piece just use your bolt instead of what he uses and make sure it’s threaded in good

Shet men madugo yan na problema kung yan talaga. Pero maraming paraan! Ang pinaka mahirap pero convenient sana ay dalhin mo sa machine shop at ipa-rethread mo. Ang pinaka madali, na may konting gastos, palitan mo yung kingpin mo men, ito yung link paano palitan: [VIDEO] May mga nabibili naman na kingpin sa mga shops natin dito satin, may mga hollow din, mapapagaan mo pa trucks mo :) Kaya yan!
