King Pin Lube Spec

[Tom Warner]

Mike what do you think about lubing the kingpins? I was always told to take
the load off before greasing so the entire pin would get lube around it. I
have the factory manual in my coach and will bring it home later today. I
just lifted the wheel that I was lubing slightly off the ground with my 22
1/1 ton air/hydraulic floor jack. Interesting.
