RE: Motor mount nightmare
I
would be careful buying any tool that would attempt to replace a hydraulic
press. I haven't used one of the arbors sold by RMM, but I have done it a few
times with a hydraulic press here at work, and even with the hydraulic press it
takes quite a lot of pressure to get the mounts out of the brackets. Sometimes
you have to build up the pressure until they snap loose. I don't think I would
try anything else--unless it was a money back guarantee.
As a
side note, one time when I did my front wheel bearings, I rented that tool
that's supposed to press them out with them still on the car----Ha! That thing
was a joke! Call me whimpy if you want, but I couldn't get either one to budge a
hair! I ended up having to dissassemble everything, bring it to work, and use
the hydraulic press here to press them out.
I love
tools, but I'll pass on this one and put my money on a hydraulic press for my
garage.
BTW,
I'm getting a good deal on a used MIG welder--picking it up tomorrow...anyone
wanna' teach me how to weld?

That makes me think of something - did anybody see the "motor
mount
arbor" for sale from Rocky Mountain Motorworks? It looks like you
could
use that to press the mount in yourself. Anybody got one?
I saw that...I was gonna get one, but haven't
ordered it yet.
