That said, Ive driven a few cars where the king pins were atrocious and never had the problem I describe.

I will report back once I've had another look.

Hedd   What is the size of the cutter you used (presumably on standard 7 axle with 1/2" pins)? 
The problem with using a tap valve face cutter was that I could not find one large enough dia for the BIG 7 axle thrust faces.  I needed 1 1/16' (27mm) for underside recessed axle eye and slightly different size for stub axle eyes.
I would like to know if you or anyone else has found one that size (5/8 king pins).
