When doing annual maintenance of your Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP34FR, replacing the six conical washers is not required. You simply want to take it apart once annually to properly clean and lubricate it while inspecting the parts to ensure they are all in good working order. If you notice that any parts look like they need replacing you can do it at the time, but it is not an annual requirement.

I have added a number of links on Sidewinders, including help articles and our selection of them for you to check out.
