Any recommendations?

What are you looking to press?
-
Currently V70 wishbone bushes. But longer term any bushes/bearings that get in my way. (within reason).
-
At least a 10ton press.
Although iirc Volvo bones are quite reasonable. £50 odd each on a c70
-
£29 for the bushes is more reasonable. Banger-nomics. :D

Hmm :-\ Looking like it's not worth the hassle vs just throwing some new arms at it.
That red hydraulic press you have by your door... what's that rated to? Any good for this sort of stuff?

At work we've a fifty-ton air over hydraulic press that is really good at wrecking car parts! ;D I find my 10ton press at home cheaper to use.

I had 12 ton before for about 5-6 years and then I we was replacing wheel bearing on Renault master
and that was to much for press, frame bent so was scrap time for it

That is another reason for me not doing rear wheel bearings in a press, even though it would have been easier on the ramp at work rather than axlestands in the street at home.
