Hyd Press, Bearings & Bushings 200 86

posted by  someone claiming to be Doug Blalock on  Thu May 17 09:32 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have a new set of rear axle bearings for '86 240DL as well as front susp bushing kit. Since the closest place I can find to press off/on the axle bearings wants $30/side to do it, I was thinking it might be worth buying a hydraulic press from one of the discount tool companies, and using it on the front bushings too. OK, maybe its just an excuse to buy another tool. The question is what ton press do I need and what is the minimum distance needed to press off the axle bearings? Choices are 12 ton ($110) to 20 ton ($230) presses with 23" and 32" working distances. Any advice from the experienced?
