Top plugs of kingpins

Click on thumbnail to see big photo.

Way back in July when I put in the new kingpins I couldn't get the top plugs to seal. As the weather has been good (warm) since then I put the kingpins aside for a rainy day. 1.jpg (44250 bytes)
I removed the plugs as grease was coming out all around them when I used the grease gun. I made a tool to allow me to put the dome back on the plugs. 2.jpg (41405 bytes)
I heated a plug with a plumbers torch until it was red then put it in the resess and belted it!

To get a good seal I cheated and used Araldite.

And it worked!
