Trying to replace bottom king pin on 580 super e

Bottom king pin needs to be replaced. We started to take it a part and we got the spindle nut off but I wasnt really sure if the hub should just slide off or is there somthing else that is holding it on. Any tips or info would be helpfull. Thanks in advance.

    Got the outer hub off and I was trying to pull the upper king pin but wasnt sure what size bolt or threads were in the hole in the top of the upper king pin.

    Assuming this is 4wd, can't be 100% on size - definitely metric (made in Italy) - 14mm at a guess

    Thanks for the info alrman, it was fine thread 14mm. Should have her all back together in the morning.
