Abstract
A king pin removal tool for displacing a king pin comprises a drive plate defining a drive opening, an anchor plate, a first drive member, a spacing system, and a stabilizing system. The spacing system supports the drive plate and the anchor plate relative to the king pin such that the first drive member is aligned with the king pin axis. The first drive member engages the drive plate such that rotation of the first drive member relative to the drive plate displaces the first drive member through the drive opening and along the king pin axis to displace the king pin along the king pin axis relative to the axle member and the knuckle assembly. The stabilizing system supports the drive plate to prevent rotation of the drive plate relative to the axle member when the first drive member is rotated relative to the drive plate.
