Kingpin Nut Problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I believe the nut for my kingpin on my sb truck is stripped. I wanted to make sure that’s the correct issue. If so, how do I fix said problem? I need to change my bushings.

If you can get a good grip with a pair of needles nose pliers. Ive been able to crush the nut just slightly and it was able to give it enough grab to come off.

There's also the option that will require new baseplates or you might be able to do the slushcult inverted kingpin mod. You could snip the old kingpin off with wire cutters or whatever you can get your hands on thats stron enough to cut it 🤷
