Chuck,
There is a tapered pin that goes through the lower trunnion and holds
the fulcrum pin in place. It's tough to get out. Depending on how badly the
fulcrum pin is worn you may be unable to get it out. Three out of five times I
end up having to order replacement A-arms and kingpins because I am unable to
take the old ones apart. If you can get it apart, Apple hydraulics sells a
rebuild kit for the threaded cup portion of the a-arms that need to be brazed
or welded in to the A-arm for about $18.
Regards,
Peter S.
