IMDB rating: 6.60 Plot: Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) was raised to be the best bowler in the world (trained early on by his father). But a fellow bowler, Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray) and a misunderstanding with some rough punks, leaves poor Roy with the loss of his bowling hand! Not to let this get him down, he gets a prosthetic hand and becomes a traveling sales man. But it’s really all down hill for him from that night on until … One day he meets Ishmael (Randy Quaid) who’s a Quaker that sneaks away from the farm to bowl (his fellow Quakers would disown him if they knew)! Roy convinces Ishmael to let him be his trainer and he’ll make him the best bowler the world has ever seen. Reluctantly Ismael agrees to go on the road and shortly afterwards actually finds that life outside the farm is quite fun. Soon their paths cross that of Ernie McCracken who is still top ranking bowler. While Roy’s career and life have landed in the toilet bowl, Ernie is still drawing huge crowds and all the babes! They both square off for the untimate bowling championship … to see which one truly IS the champion. To find that out you’ll have to see this funny and original movie. Bill Murray is at his best, since Caddyshack. Randy Quaid makes some daring choices that really work and Woody Harrelson brings us the comdey style from “Cheers” that made him a household name! |

How do you replace a broken kingpin?
My kingpin broke on 2 trucks. One on Venture and one of Silver. Is there anyway to take out the screw at the botton of the base?
Also, can you list some websites that sell kingpins? Thank you.
All you need to do is take your trucks apart. And you will see how you could take the kingpin out.
There are many places to get new kingpins, just do a search for them.

You are in luck if your trucks have inverted kingpins. Take the truck off the deck. There should be a nut in the baseplate. It is not attached to anything, so it could fall out. Remove the broken piece from the nut by unscrewing it. Pull the other half of the kingpin out from the hanger and bushings. Get a new kingpin at a skate shop and a nut if the trucks are older, or you loosen and tighten your trucks frequently. Put the nut in the baseplate and thread the kingpin through the bushings and Hanger. Tighten them to your riding preference. Now is the time to inspect your bushings. If they are worn excessively or blown, you should replace them.
If the kingpin is fixed to the baseplate, it will take some work to get it out. Take the truck apart and set the baseplate on a hard, flat surface, like a workbench. It helps to have a hole in the bench to let the kingpin pass through. You can also use two wooden blocks on a concrete floor. Pound out the old kingpin with a heavy hammer. You may need to use a large punch if the remnants of the kingpin are very short. This will take about a half hour to get the kingpin out. Once the kingpin is out, slide the new kingpin through the hole in the baseplate and hammer it in. Use the punch, or a block of wood to protect the threads from a bad hammer hit. You will need to use the punch to get the kingpin in all the way.
Caution, there is a good chance you will break your baseplate! I refuse to replace fixed kingpins in the shop. The breakage rate is about 40% for experienced people. I give them the workbench and the tools to use.
