Anyone with a press?
« on: 03/ 2/10 - 01:06AM »
I have two clevite bushings on my long arms I'm building that need to be pressed into their housings. Tried using a jeep and the ground to get them in to no avail. Would anyone be willing to press them in for me?

harbor freight has display models that could be used.

I laughed at this.

Like most harbor freight tools, the press is only good for one use so you will need to find two displays.  8)

Guess I should clarify, I need a 20 ton press. Tried it with a 12 ton tonight and it didn't get them all the way in.

take it out to Phils or 4WS can't imagine either one of them charging much at all to press it for you.
