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?

Because they are pressed in from the factory.

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.
