Methinks written by a journalist with a little engineering knowledge?
He should have called the spacer washer the thrust washer and a spacer washer, if required, goes above the axle. Hammering in the king pin would refer to getting it through the axle eye which should be a good tight fit........of course we would put pin in the freezer to shrink it nowadays.....but they didn't have such things in those days in the the average household.
Now we know why so many 7s can be found with many bodges.
Thanks Colin for the soldering washer tip for turning down..........I have been grappling with that "how to" frequently in the past.
