12ton shop press

To y'all in the know

Will it press in and out the bearings and hubs on my 2003 Tacoma prerunner 2wd 3.3L automatic?

 

Seems I read in some thread it takes at least a 20 ton.

 

Even a 20 ton is pushing it

 

Yep, agreed. 50-ton air/hydraulic if can find one used. Too damn expensive new! Unless you have a business where you’d use it a lot. One hellova nutcracker for Christmas time!

 

Good people

I went back and watched the Timmy the toolman video on how to press in and out the bearings and hubs. Timmy used a 12ton shop press so it can be done. Just make sure you have the necessary press sleeves and misc plates and materials.

 

I am pretty sure Timmy used a 20 ton from HF. Either way- get at least that. The 12ton wont do the front bearings, and if you're rear bearings are on their way out, the front aren't far behind.

 

You are correct Andy01. I went back and reviewed the transcript of the video and indeed it was a 20ton HF press. My hearing ain't too good.
