Default Need help on king pins

Restoring a ‘69 Ford F-100 and changing out my king pins and ran into the hardest ones ever went and bought a 12 ton press and of yet haven’t been able to get them to release any help would be great

They can be a stinker. Just about impossible without the press tool. What worked for me,
SOAK IT, SOAK IT SOAK IT , PB Blaster works pretty well. Not supposed to use heat .
Sometimes with the pressure on the King pin , some raps with a good hammer will help, otherwise , soak it

I used a press made by OTC , good tool.
