NO REAM QWIK KIT INSTALLATION for KING PIN STEERING KNUCKLE REPAIRS - Page 1 of 2
* Use established procedures for teardown. It is not necessary to remove the steering knuckle from the truck to install a KAISER QWIK KIT. After the wheel assemblies have been removed, drive out the old king pins (one side at a time) and move the steering knuckle either backward or forward to clear the axle with the steering tie rod and steering arm attached. Either position should provide working area for removing old bushings and torqueing in the Kaiser spiral steel bushings.
STEERING KNUCKLE AND AXLE PREPARATION
1. Drive out old bushings with a bushing driver.
2. Remove old grease fittings and clean out grease ports. (side spindle greasing only)
3. Clean spindle bores and axle eyes with solvent and wipe dry.
4. Remove any burrs from spindle bores and axle eyes. Bores control the spiral bushing's inside diameter, alignment and running fit clearance.
CAUTION: Warranty is void if the Kaiser spiral steel bushings and/or Kaiser grease grooved king pins are used with any other non Kaiser bushings and/or pins. Warranty is void when QWIK KIT is used in worn axle eyes and/or spindle bores. When replacing nylon bushings always measure spindle bores and axle eyes for excessive wear. Vehicles 5 years and older must have their spindle bores and axle eyes measured for excessive wear. (See 'O.E.M. axle eye and spindle bore sizes" in Catalog 101 ). When in doubt measure bores. QWIK KIT CANNOT CORRECT WORN AXLE EYES OR SPINDLE BORES.

EACH QWIK KIT CONSISTS OF:
2 - Grease grooved king pins
4 - Kaiser torque-in spiral steel bushings and hardware necessary to complete the job. (Hardware parts may vary to comply with steering knuckle spindle engineering).

D0 NOT PRESS OR DRIVE SPIRAL BUSHING INTO BORE. Bushing will shear the corner of the bore and set up a burr as the bushing enters. The bushing will not seat properly and will fail promaturely.
INSTALLING SPIRAL STEEL BUSHINGS
1. Wipe a small amount of grease in each spindle bore. Place the tip of the bushing at a slight angle to the bore. With a push-in, clockwise twisting action, the spiral bushing will enter the bore. Continue with the twisting action as far as the hand grip will permit.
2. Grip bushing wall with a 'T' wrench or narrow nose pliers away from the tip as much as possible. Continue the clockwise rotation to within 1/8" of end plate surface. DO NOT GRIP BUSHING ON TIP!!!

3. Tap bushing in the bore flush to the end plate surface with a brass mallet. The tapping will allow the bushing to seat itself properly. NOTE: Spiral steel bushing will not move in the bore or cause wear to the bores when instructions are followed.
4. Testing before assembly
Wipe bushing I.D. (inside diameter) and test king pin for alignment and fit in both axle eye and spindle bores. King pin must have a smooth slip fit. Burrs, grit, and dirt in the spindle bores vill cause the bushing to bind with the king pin. To correct this condition remove bushing with a bushing driver. Remove obstruction with emery cloth. Wipe clean and reassemble starting with Step 1.
