    My dudes, changing out the bearings on the king coilovers and I’m not exactly sure how to remove this portion…

    I know I need to press out the bearing after removing the pin but how do I remove the portion that exceeds out from the bearing on both sides? Just grab a couple of wrenches and twist/pull?

    thanks

    If they are like Fox, there is a c clip deal you have to wrestle out and then it presses out easy.

    That alignment spacer should come right off. I haven't messed with Kings much but on most coilovers its just a sleeve and doesn't attach to anything. Stick the bolt from your suspension on there so just 2 or 3 threads are in and leverage it, see if it pops off.

    A 13/16 socket works great as a press once you get those misalignment spacers out and the c-clips off.
