Pepe down the street was charging me $35 for each bearing and motormount I needed pressed. So I decided to get this instead for $99:

After 3 bearings or MM's, it pays for itself. fing02.gif

I have their engine hoist and engine stand. Both managed to hold the VG30ET for several months at a time. They've gotten tons of use and work well. IMO, the cheap cost doesn't make it a cheap product.

dude, that's a must-have tool. You can bend or straighten metal with it, and all the other things you do with a standard hydraulic press. I wish i had a garage.
