Bernie I think the axle will have to come out anyway.
If that pin popped out today how are you going to push the kingpin out anyway?
You'll need a 100 tonne porta power at the minimum.
I very much doubt it'll slide out with an old claw hammer!
I wish it was going to be that easy! Does the other side have to come out as well?

Ok folks we have been beat by this pesky cotter pin and after a few phone calls we have bought a full replacement . Hub to hub .
Question Terry . I was thinking it would be easier for me to remove the top 4 bolts on the short steering arm in the pic and do the same on my setup .
AS you can see the nut is off the other end and that bloody knuckle wont move as well and yes me and my RACQ mate (who recovered from the shooting Jon ) cant move the mongrel . So I was thinking along the lines of eliminate the whole lot by removing the 4 bolts ?

Just swap the drag link from one axle to the other. If you can get it apart, have it crack tested and keep it for a spare, they are a fail item and age increases the risk. The busses in Tassie had them crack tested every 2 yrs, a few were cracked on near new buses.
