Why did I wait so long to buy one of these? Yes, the job can be done w/o one and I've done it w/o one. But never again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I like it so much that I will share it. Anyone of my SoCal Bro's need to use it just stop by. It's the cat's meow. Damn you Eric Shea. Your an expensive man to hang around with. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Awesome! Having the correct tool makes mincemeat of any job! Wish I had more toys for my garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I was banging a stud out of hub and hit my pinkie so fricking hard I thought I was gonna pass out. Said to myself "what the fuch am I doing" ? Drove over to HF and bought a press. Not only does "having" the right tool make the job easier, it makes it safer !!!

I know what scotty means on bending 1/2" bars, then I figured it out and pressed it the correct way. Anyway its great to have the right tools.

Definitely looks like Porsche approved "plumbing" pieces to push out the bearing... whatever works!
Made a trip to HF a couple weeks ago and bought the same press to push out the hubs and bearings in my rear trailing arms as well. Folks like us keep them in business! |

Kent, what's the tonage rating on that model? I can't read the jack.
I gotta get one of those! |

I read several reviews on the HF presses when I was in the market. First thing is to assure you assemble it on a good flat surface, then weld gussets in the corners to keep it straight.
I decided not to purchase one. Instead, I take anything that needs pressed to my auto shop class. IIRC, it's a 100-ton press (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

I've had that press for 10 years now without a single problem. Other than welding the two handles together (the one you see in the press and the one on the grinder) it's been flawless. It will do any job you need it to do on the 914.
Kent... I didn't realize you had any money left over from our last excursion. My bad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) |

Kent, what's the tonage rating on that model? I can't read the jack. I gotta get one of those! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Hey Mike, how's the new dig's? Jack is right. It is a 12 ton. It was $40 bucks more than the 6 ton which was worth the frustration level of finding out that a 6 was too small. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Really, I wasn't sure and the HF is a hr round trip so I went with 12 ton. I was worried about floor space but these don't take up any to speak of. I laughed aloud when I read Bulitt's comment. How many times have I done something similar. |

It helps to remove this little screw ![]() then you can slip the outer side in first as shown with the horn oriented in the correct position. ![]() now slip the inner side into the hole of the ear and just start the bolt a few turns ![]() now slip the bolt up thru the washer on the bottom side (not seen in this pic) and thru the captive hole of the spacer. the rest will slip into place later. ![]() the others spacers in place ![]() shocks in place ![]() ![]() |

Maybe I will take you up on your offer to use it in the near future! I have family in Temecula I visit every few months and I will need to press out my rear bearings to install the new ones with my five lug hub that Eric will be sending soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No sense in getting dirty if we don't have to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Bring your bushing, too. Allow about 30 min's out of your schedule that day. i'm in French Valley if you know where that is. |
