Replacing King Pins
I am getting ready to replace the King Pins in the Front D60 of my '89 w250. Does anyone recommend any specific kit out there to make the job easier? While I'm at it I was going to put all new wheel bearings in. Where is the best place to get them? Advanced auto, Mopar, ect? Also, How does the front axle shalfs come out? Do I have to remove the diff cover? Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm new at this forum stuff.

welcome to DTR
you will find lots of free help for your fine truck
as for the front axle with the wheel off its real strait forword just pull the snapring in the hub pull the big 2 9/16" nut and a ring of smaller bolts holding the spindle on .the biggest thing you will need to becarefull of are the internal seals a lot of times when installing the axle shafts you will push dirt on to the seals and cause a leak ... try and clean the tubes real good when it all gos back. and carefull with the seals
good luck
