You need to press out the torsion arm link pin bushes by a hydraulic press first, then the king pin can be accessed,

No, cause you have to ream the installed kingpin bushes to align them with each other, they come slightly undersize.

so this is a major job? whats involved with reaming the new bushes?
seems way too hard just to fit new dropped spindles.
As I dont have a ten ton press handy, would I be better off getting a garage to fit the pins and bushes?
any ideas?

you need and adjustable reamer and someone who knows how to use it not an easy job
I suggest that you get Vintage at Campsie to fit the bushings and set up the lowered axles for you 9789-1777
