Hi interested in the comment from Jim about the core pugs coming out when pressurised with grease.
I replaced the king pins about 30 years ago when I got the car , I remember reaming them out but not a lot more details, too long ago.I assumed the plugs “ blew off “ on greasing because I had not fixed them correctly at the time.
The car has been off the road for a while and I recently greased the king pins but kept the core plug in place by putting a G clamp on the pin before greasing so that I was fairly certain the grease penetrated the joints.
