Im going to attempt to install my ES bushings and I was wondering if I would be able to do it with this press?
12 TON SHOP PRESS
Working distance: min: 3-1/4" - max: 28-1/4"
Width between channels: 16-3/8’’
My questions are is this the correct press for this job, and if so is it enough tonnage? I Know that it can be done with bolts and washers or torches, but I dont mind spending the $$$ if it will make this BIG job little easier.
thanks
help! I tried to edit the topic so you guys would actually look, but it just changed it inside the thread…:rant:
That looks about right. How much is the press?
You would spend less money on taking the pieces to a machine shop than buying a 200-300buck shop press. It will do the job. Unless you spend on pressing things out everyday, I would save your lira and just take the pieces to be pushed out. You can push the new bushing in with just a vise.
hey thanks for the replys! I have never taken anything to a machine shop before… do they do it for you while you wait?
Cause this is on my daily driver…
I could prolly resell the press afterwords, and if not then hey I have a press for future suff?!?!?!
EDIT: its only $119 shipped and there is a Harbor Tools retail store almost directly across the street from my apartment
