well i'm guess it would be best to get the tool for 30 bucks is not to bad. i just hate spending money on a tool i'm not going to use much.

now that i'm getting my the steering setup i can put the outlaws 14/7 small blot on but i'm heaving the problem with what tires to fit on. i'm looking at the BF Goodrich P205/70R14 93S on the front and P225/70R14 98S or would a P225/60R14 98S fit nice ? on the rear i have the lift springs so i need a tire to fill the the space.

The way I look at tool expenditures is if I can buy the tool for 2x or less what it would cost me to rent the tool or out source the work I will buy the tool. I figure that if I need to do the job once, chances are that I will at some time need to do it again.

I just used the press at the shop. Isolate what you're pushing, and it's easy and safe for the parts.

If you have air tools-- somewhere I read & viewed pics -- you can make your own tool -- with some all thread, thick washers & different diameters of steel pipe. this will allow the air tool to do the work---
Haven't had to use it yet but will probably make something similar -- when removing upper -- bushings next time ,Lawrencel

By the time you figure out an alternative to buying the tool, you would have been able to do it 12 ways to Sunday with it. And hey, it's a hobby, why the need to justify a relatively small expense?

Right tool for the job is always the best answer. Why struggle with something that should only take a few minutes?

Get the tool already. It's fun. You'll be amazed at how well it works! And if you really think it's expensive, look at a Snap-On catalog. :shock:


Just my 2¢
