Hydraulic Shop Press
I'm getting the stuff I need to setup rear end gears myself and need to get me a press for the pinion bearing (9" Ford). Anyone know how big of a press is needed for doing those? Don't have a lot of wall space so I'm not looking to get a huge press. Majority of what I'll be doing with it is pressing bearings on and off (Pinion and axle bearings).

I believe mine is a 12 ton. I'll look when I get there. Don't forget to get you a good bearing splitter and some of the heavy steel pressing spacers.

Re: Hydraulic Shop Press
I have the 20 ton from harbor freight, no bigger then the 12ton really, havent found anything yet it wont move.
Have done several rear ends and front A arm bushings with it.

Re: Hydraulic Shop Press
Save a buck or 2? I either polish or grind the pinion bearing surface in a crank grinder so the bearing just goes on and off with a slight push.

x2.... that's what i did the last time with my 12 bolt. I hone out the inner race of the pinion bearing so it just slid on. found my shims and put a new bearing on and checked everything again. Very handy tip dave has there!Dave Koehler wrote:Save a buck or 2? I either polish or grind the pinion bearing surface in a crank grinder so the bearing just goes on and off with a slight push.
And by the way 12 tons would do what you want. we have a 20 ton at work but is a little over kill for most things.
