The hard part now is collecting the eclectic array of odd old bearing shells & busted shafts that form the press bit 'kit' that money cant buy!

Excuse my ignorance, but how come you need a hydraulic press for control arm bushes?

Just in case you dont read the turbo build threads, I'll pop this pic here.
The fuckheads at Sydney tools tried 3 times to organise my press & failed. So I bought this one from Supercheap. Was on special for $156 bucks
Perfect for control arm bushes, wheel & gearbox bearings, plus it doesnt take up too much room.
