I. Upper Kingpin Removal
After Section IV-E, remove locknut from the bottom
of the upper kingpin. Use a jack or jack screw to pry
between the stud and the lower portion of the suspen-
sion yoke to force the ball stud from its tapered hole.
J. Steering Arm Removal
1.
Disconnect brake line connection that may be
attached to the steering arm.

Disconnect the steering drag link if so desired —
by applying a force between the drag link end and
the steering arm and then striking the steering
arm radially to the tapered ball connection. Avoid
driving on the end of the tapered ball, or nut
screwed thereon, as this will severely damage the
end of the tapered ball before the parts separate.
3.
Remove the four locknuts from the steering arm
studs and remove the arm.
K. Upper Kingpin Removal
1.
Remove only if replacing with a new part.
2.
After removing the upper kingpin bracket from the

Do not remove the seal unless it is to be replaced
by a new seal assembly.

3.
Remove suspension yoke from the axle housing
by removing eight locknuts and hardened
washers. (See fig. 26.)
4.
Drive the seal from the suspension yoke with a
suitable drift.
M. Outer Axle Seal Removal

remove the seal or refer to IV-O.
N. Outer Drive Yoke Roller Bearing
Removal
With the spindle removed (section IV-D) and after
removing the seal (section IV-M), the bearing can be
pushed from the spindle yoke.
O. Universal Joint Disassembly

any other disassembly or after step IV-D, or IV-E.
Remove eight capscrews that attach the cross and
bearing assembly to drive yokes. (See fig. 20, Page 11.)
Remove the cross and bearing. (See fig. 27). Remove
the capscrews from the center of the drive yokes and
remove the drive yokes. The outer drive yoke may re-
quire some prying before it comes off the outer axle
