just reinsert the broken bit of kingpin and tap it with a hammer to push it out the back of the baseplate in a vice. otherwise like simon said just get a randal baseplate if you don't want to go crazy with a hammer, but it can't hurt haha I am sure Fitz will have a better fix for this issue

Paris trucks are guaranteed for life. Hit them up for a new baseplate.

That being said I have bashed out and replaced kingpins from Sabres and Indys without much hassle. Paris shouldn't really be any different.

how did you even do that bro!
the options that the guys have said are indeed good
id go with smashing out the rest of the kingpin and putting in a new one. fastest way to get skating again i reckon.

pretty sure the hop shop sells paris baseplates for $25

cheaper than buying the set of punches you would use to bash the broken one out.

and quicker then getting a warranty one I would think, especially with how quick robbo is on the postage.

welding isnt an option mate you cant get the fillement in to the gap you have plus trucks are made of forged steel and is near impossible to weld without professional help as it tends to crack violently when under extreme heat

Problem with Paris kingpins is they aren't a standard bolt, they are a splined stud with a small head on them. If you do get it out, good luck at getting a bolt to fit, not enough room for the head of the bolt. Going by the photo it is a faulty kingpin (looking at the line through the stud where it broke, manufacturing defect), hit up Paris for a replacement....

Paris have a lifetime warranty. Send them an email, attach pictures and they'll set you up.
