I broke my first bench vise trying to press out a       u-joint with a cheater bar on the vise handle. A task that was achieved       with ease with a 12 ton hydraulic press. Also a task I wouldn't try,       even with my 6 ton, with an arbor press. Maybe I should try. The last       one I did was a huge pain. The biggest problem was supporting the drive       shaft. The arbor press is already mounted on a heavy work bench.       Bob La Londe       ------------------------------       The last U joint I tried to press out for a neighbor was a GM one with the       injected plastic retainer I didn't know about.              It's easy with the right tool, a smoke wrench.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
