Was wondering if anyone had a cheapo hydraulic press in their garage for pressing in bearings, removing roll-pins, etc.
I know you can go with the old all-thread, washer, socket trick for the bearings, but figure I might spring for a press. Any advice? Pictures? Thanks, Karl |

Elliot,
I bought all of the materials to build my own, plus a $10 bottle jack from Harbor Frieght...it cost less than $10 more to buy this 6 ton unit....luckly I have found a few uses for the steel that I bought, but for the most part, it just gets in the way when I am cleaning my garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) To make my press more versitale, I have mine mounted on a metal bench that is open under the press between the legs so that I am not limited by the horizontal "feet" |
