Bearing Press

How big a press will I need to get a rear bearing out? We've got a 1.5 ton press at work, but I seem to remember reading somewhere you need more like 5 tons?

i got one out of a dci yesterday on a 1.5 ton mate and it was busted a bit

shouldnt need anywhere near a 5ton.

Depends how f**ked the bearing is tbh, mine wouldnt come out with 5 ton, had to go somewhere that had a 20ton irrc, but i had driven for a silly amount of time, and absolutely f**ked it.

It's generally in good nick (although knackered) if you see what I mean. Sounds like it's worth a shot...

I've got a friendly garage who can help if I get stuck, but if I can do it myself for free that's even better.

1.5 ton wasn't enough when we tried to do a 172 cup at the weekend, needed a 5 ton to get the old out and the new in. might be lucky with a 1.5 if its in a decent condition.

As said it depends how hot its got to sieze it in.
