The Brits call it a cotter pin, but it is a tapered pin with a nut on the
other end; like holds a bicycle pedal arm onto the pedal crank, on some
older bicycles. Thank you for your input.

I'm rebuilding the right front axel assembly. The king pin (called
swivel pin in Bentley's) is held to the fulcrum pin by a small tapered

trouble getting that out? (1979 MG Midget.) .bill in corvallis

I'm not certain if you are referring to the cotter pin or the fulcrum
pin that you are having trouble with. The cotter pin must be removed.
It is a tapered pin with a nut on the bottom. Dig all the scrunge off
the bottom of the king pin assembly to find the nut. Remove it. Tap
the pin out. Use a hand impact tool with the large flat blade
screwdriver bit on the fulcrum pin. There is a slot in it. Make sure
that the hand impact is set to turn the correct way to undo the pin.
Hold the impact tool correctly with some tension on it and whack it
sharply. I have had very good luck with this method.
