What sort of company might use a hydraulic press?
What sort of company might use a hydraulic press?
In order to rebuild my charger one of the main things I need is a hydraulic press for pushing the new bearings onto the shafts. It looks like I can pick one uup for about £100 on eBay but I really don't want the hassle of finding somewhere to set it up and then having to sell it after.
So, what kind of place would use such a device? Any ideas chaps?

If not, i would say most engineering places would have a press. A lot of car garages do as well for replacing wheel bearings
You probably dont need one. You could try putting the shaft in the freezer for 30 mins then try dropping the bearing on, it might give enough clearance.

jimxms Cheers dude. Good call with the wheel bearings. Fingers crossed I can do it without. The only thing I need to buy now is a 3 jaw puller for getting the buggers off in the first place.
If you are going to get someone to fit the new ones, I dare say they will be able to remove the old ones too! Might save you buying a puller too.
As long as you are happy for another man to fondle your shaft, of course.
