How do i replace the kingpin on an indy so i can fit better bushings i know there r other threads about this but they dont really go into much detail, do i just hammer the thing out and how do i put the new one in, aso what size kingpin should i use would a standard randall replacement be ok? or is all this too much of a hassle and i should jst buy the Mile high hybrid baseplate

There are a few ways to do it. If its a stage 9 or 10 indy replace it with a paris king pin or put the new one in then epoxy it in place. If its stage 8 or below just hammer the new one in.

If you are wondering just how to get the damn thing out just put it on a vice and hammer it out!!!!!

It comes out a lot easier if you heat it up in the oven first. Aluminum expands more than steel so when you take it out of the oven it just needs a light tap. 450 Degrees F should do it, just remember to take out the pivot cup before it goes in.

Theres no real need for an oven. Just get a block of wood so you dont damage the threads and take a sledge hammer or a regular hammer to it
