20-ton HF at the minimum. I've got that one, and it even flexes a bit when pressing some wheel bearings out if they're really stuck ('85 Corolla, and a bunch of Mazdogs) I got mine years ago for around $100 bucks, maybe a bit more, on sale with a coupon, it was worth it for the time and money I've saved from having to take it somewhere else. Although, I want to get another set of arbor plates, because most things I'm pressing arent' perfectly square (just about any fwd knuckle you can think of) and spacers of some sort are generally needed.

Yeah, I went to a metal place and bought all kinds of scrap. Thick still scrap, I have so many shapes and sizes i can usually make it work.

20-ton Harbor Freight knock-off found used locally for 100 bucks... it's big, but not too big. I'll find a place that's out of the way.

Certainly happier then with the 6 ton bench top thing...

Thanks all.
