Hello everyone
Quick question. I'm doing up the car. Rear bearings are next on the hit list. I know that a press will make the job easier. Which weight rated hydraulic press will I nneed. There's 6 ton presses being sold new on ebay for £70 which seems great because there's loads of places where I'll need it on the car. This will make it cheaper than paying someone long term
Thanks
