You can get a new bench one like this for example:-

But you're still looking at double the price. Probably worth keeping an eye on ebay for something local that you can look at.

nice one! we have a 10 ton at work and sometimes it's not quite enough lol

you don't really need a press for rear bearings though. I always just hammer then in using the tool that only lets them go in straight :)

Thats right, a press isn't necessary for rear bearings.
I bought it to do both fronts on the Polo, and since found the rears are f**ked as well, so might as well use the press for that as well.
