You have to get the cotter pin out like I think you have already tried.  Bac=
k the nut off and hit the nut to drive the tapered pin out.  Sometimes they a=
re so rusty they refuse to budge.  Heat the kingpin as hot as you can and be=
at on it some more.

Why is it called a "cotter" pin as it's not like any other cotter pin I've e=
ver used?
