Removing king pin from spindle

[Theo]

Hey guys. broke my spindle the other day. Have everything taken apart, and its ready to come off, but I don't know how to get the kingpin out. Is there any specific way to do this?

There's a locking pin that goes through the axle that locks the kingpin in place. Drive that pin out, and you will be able to pull the kingpin out.

Sometimes the kingpin will wear a step on the lower bushing end where it can hang up and make removal difficult. Watch for this if it doesn't want to slide out and before you resort to the bigg-azz hammer.
