Thanks for thinking about the problem Dean

The king pin removal turned out to be quite straight forward because the bushings and the pin were worn - I just used a narrow pin punch and then waggled the pin out by sticking it in my vice. As all parts are to be replaced I was only careful about the casting.

I'm not sure if all king pins can be removed with the unauthorised method I used but it does save having to replicate the special tool shown in the PDF you linked
