 Well, finally got the king pins out.  A lot of heat, and a Ball joint press
(looks like a giant C-clamp) and they came right out.  However, now I've
nother problem.  I test-fitted the new bushings, and they slide in way too
easily (or at least I think they do) and feel a tad sloppy.  Does this
indicate that the spindles are too worn, and that I should start looking for
some replacements?  It's my understanding that they should be pressed in, so
I'm thinking that if they slide right onthrough, it can't be good.
