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.  Just my 2¢ Greg |
