Im looking to get a press, found a 12 tonne for a good price, just wondering if that will be enough pressure for wheel bearings and bushes?

Thanks

I've got something similar to this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-12-TONNE-HYDRAULIC-SHOP-PRESS-FOR-WORKSHOP-GARAGE_W0QQitemZ320435200542QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item4a9b6d221e

It does the job.

That was the one i was looking at, but looking, most of them are made from bottle jacks, i was thinking if were to buy metal from so i can make my own press, i can weld, bottle jacks are cheap, just wondering were to get the metal from and how much the metal will cost, but im going to give it a go.

To be honest they are so cheap is it really worth make one?
