When I used to work on Brit cars we called hammers "english wrenches"

You might check some of those big rig shops for one. The guys on the HAMB were saying some were listed on the E sale site also for about a $100 less
 
An air chisel with the proper bit works great for both stubborn kingpins and perchpins. The motion of the air chisel tends to vibrate out the rust binding the stuck parts. Most pieces will come apart with the air chisel alone, but for the most stubborn parts heat can be applied. I've fought some pretty hard, but never found a perch pin or kingpin that didn't ultimately give up with the heat/air chisel combination. Works best with the axle out of the vehicle.
 
a brass punch along with heat and big hammer . The brass transfers the shock
to the king pin. not like a steel punch that asorbs.
 
If your king pin is the style with the flat "washer" on top you can take a chisle and remover the washer.
Once it is removed you can hammer down instead of up
Saves fingers and more force is applied.
