Post King-pin fit into chromed beam axle?

Just had my I-beam axle chromed and now the king-pins won't drop in (will push in, but way too tight). I'd appreciate any advice on how to gently re-surface the bearing faces in the axle.

Cheers, Limey Simon <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

They're supposed to be tight in the axle...no movement. If you must loosen them up, try a brake cylinder hone.
