Can't seem to remove the king pins on these beams...suggestions?

[2012SVTSC]

Hey, just checking here, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and it seems like the king pins just tap right out.

I am going full send hammering on these at this point and they are not budging.

What am I ducking up here?

Also I can't load pictures anyone having that issue? Off-topic

Since I cannot load pics, I will better describe the scene.

Beams are removed from truck, stripped down to just the knuckles held together by the king pin.

Little wedge lock bolt is removed, dust caps off.

Beam is wedged on some 4x6s where I am trying in vain to hammer the pins out in an upward direction if viewed from a truck. (The beams are inverted as i hammer down)

Been there, done that. Put the whole beam in a press

That...or an air hammer and let it soak in WD40 and use some heat. Also air hammer them the other direction.

Heat makes everything better

Heat & pressure.

Heat them, air hammer, and dont be afraid to hit them from the bottom as well. They can be a real pain. They are either probably bent or seized in there making them tough to get out.

I used to use an old smaller pin with a sledge hammer and just beat the fuck out of them. Eventually they will come out.

Kroil, heat, kroil, attempt

Free all from Orellies works really well also
