No, just loosen the kingpin nut (on top of the trunnion) as far as it will
go before falling off. With a a jack under the A-arm you should be able to
get the pin in. The jack needs to be as close to the end of the A-arm as
possible, right next to the brake rotor.
You could have someone sit on the fender too I guess...
