    I'm working on a 2wd to 4x4 swap. I'm at the point where I need to press the hubs and bearings apart so that I can keep my abs I know most guys make a tool to aid the press but I don't have a welder. So I'm wondering if anyone has made a tool without welding that they could post a picture of. I have a few ideas floating around in my head but I'm not sold on any of them. Or if someone in the greater Los Angeles area has a tool they'd let me borrow, that would be equally awesome.

    Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Just don't really have the means to make one so was wondering if anybody had one I could borrow.
