Silly question probably.. but I have no experience with these so I'll ask anyway, I currently need to have a couple small items pressed at the moment (roll pin at the transmission shift input and it's corresponding seal). I tried hammering the pin out with a hammer and punch but it didn't budge. Would one of the hand-lever activated, table top 1-ton presses be enough to get this done? I've got another couple of project cars that will need items pressed too, so I figured I might just invest in a small one. It's really hard to find anyone with the equipment and/or willing to bother in my area. A second hand unit would be less than they'd charge me anyway. Are these fairly effective or no?
