hi, I'm finally getting a bearing press, before I rebuild my Flightomatic... No more vise and hammer jobs. Looking at them online, range from 10 ton to 500 ton!!! (where do you need 500 ton!??) Seems a 10 or 20 ton hydraulic press would do just fine for putting bushings in antique cars. Also see a ratchet-manual benchtop 1-ton arbor-press for <$100 at Northern Tool; is that too small? What is a reasonable tonnage for the typical automotive uses of a do-it-yourselfer hobbyist? Thanks!

Yes, 20-ton is about right for anything and everything a hobbyist will encounter. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
