Independent hollow kingpins

[talklessSkateMore]

I have a relatively new set of forged hollow independents that have 1 stripped hollow kingpin..

The kingpin nut is spinning in place towards the top of the kingpin.. I can cut that bitch off and attempt to re thread the bold, but I want to see if that's the right thing to do beforehand..

I don't want free shit from NHS.. I'll buy a new hollow kingpin if they are down to sell me one..

I've sent emails/dm's to both the local shop and nhs about it. Busy weekend but I don't feel a reply coming any time soon

If you have a 10 000W high precision fibre laser metal cutting machine lying around set to a 1068mm wavelength with a high speed flat pull exchange way you can cut that sucker off no problem.

You could just buy a die from your local to rethread the kingpin. 3/8 24tpi should be the correct measurements. (5/16,24tpi for axels)

 I got this one for like $6-7 at the store for one of my own kingpins a couple years ago

For sure, that's the plan. The shop replied and said they'd check it out, even replace it if that's required
