Re: bearing press
all the later models use a sealed hub assembly that is replaced as a
unit, run around $125 or so for a new unit. Rebuilding can be done but
the bearings are non standard, fairly expensive, takes a 30 ton press,
60 ton press desireable.
I would skip the press unless you do a lot of this kind of work. If all
you do is keep a couple vehicles running, just head for the auto parts
place or shop and have them do it. $150 is fairly steep for a used press
unless it is really big or really good condition. Import special 12 ton
presses go for $120 on sale at www.harborfreight.com and many other
outlets.

Re: bearing press
Thanks Roy, that's the info I was looking for. I don't know how big
this is, and I really don't need it - but I figured if the deal was
good... anyway, no to the drill press.
Thanks
